PHP Development VM using Vagrant + Puppet

Setups a Virtual Machine for PHP development. The Vagrant base box is Ubuntu Precise 64. I used it for example in Laravel and Symfony2 projects.

Installation

1. Install Vagrant & VirtualBox
2. Clone this repository including all submodules (git clone --recursive https://github.com/tsteur/php-dev-vm.git)
3. This step is optional. If you want any changes of the defaults, you can make changes in a local vagrant configuration. Have a look at vagrantconfig.yaml for a list of possible options.

cp vagrantconfig_local.yaml-dist vagrantconfig_local.yaml 4. Execute the command vagrant up 5. That's it. It'll take some time when executing this command the first time. It'll download the Vagrant base box once and install all required packages. 6. Don't forget to update your local hosts file. Default is 192.168.33.41 myproject.local.

Usage

Open "http://myproject.local" after installation. By default, all files are located within the "project" directory. It's a shared folder. You can edit all files without having to turn on the Virtual Machine.

The mount point in your VM is /home/vagrant/project
