Master (PHP 5.x) branch giving PHP 7

[BrendanTWhite]

Hi @yajra

When I do a fresh clean clone of the master branch and do vagrant up it does the base box import and a whole bunch of provisioning, and then it says php5-fpm: unrecognized service. And when I vagrant SSH in to the box and do service --status-all it has php7.0-fpm in the list but not php5-fpm.

So I'm fairly sure it's installing PHP 7 and not PHP 5.x. So I tried changing "php": ">=5.4" to "php": "~5.4" in composer.json, but that hasn't helped.

Also I'm guessing I probably need to specify version 0.3.x of the base box, not 0.4.0, because 0.4.0 is on PHP7. So I've added a config.vm.box_version = "~> 0.3" line right under config.vm.box = settings["box"] ||= "laravel/homestead" in scripts/homestead.rb, but that hasn't helped either. Even after I did a vagrant destroy && vagrant up, just to be sure. (You can see my attempts in this branch.)

Do you happen to have any suggestions on what I might need to do to get PHP 5 working again?

With many thanks,
@BrendanTWhite.

Actually, the config.vm.box_version in scripts/homestead.rb was the fix after all - I just needed to get my syntax right. It's "~0.3" not "~>0.3".

I'll clean up my branch and do a pull request.

...except that "~> 0.3" actually was the right syntax after all ... not sure why it wasn't working for me before.

Anyway, it's working now. I've put in a pull request for it.

Cheers,
Brendan.
