Zend Server 6 Vagrant Box

This Vagrant setup configures an Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise) 64-bit box with:

Zend Server 6
PHP 5.3 (including APC & Solr extensions)
MySQL 5.5

Requirements

To use this package you'll need:

Vagrant: http://www.vagrantup.com/
VirtualBox: https://www.virtualbox.org/

Quick Start

Clone this repository onto your machine. It doesn't matter much where, but if you are going to use Vagrant machines a lot, maybe create a folder for it and have this live within that folder
On the command line, navigate to the 'vagrant' folder
Run vagrant up. The first time you run this, the VM will 'provision' all the requirements. It will take 5-10 mins depending on your PC and internet speed

cd vagrant; vagrant up
Once provisioning is completed, hit http://localhost:10081 and setup ZendServer (it'll ask you to set a password, agree to terms etc)

Forwarded Ports

The following ports on your host machine will be forwarded to the VM

8080 => 80 (Webapp)
10081 => 10081 (Zend Server Console)
10082 => 10082 (Zend Server HTTPS Console)
3307 => 3306 (MySQL)

Shared Folders

Out of the box, the app directory from this repository is shared as /home/vagrant/app in the VM. You can change this easily by modifying the line in the Vagrantfile. The format of this config line is alias, path-on-guest, local-path-on-host

config.vm.share_folder "v-web-app", "/home/vagrant/app", "../app"

To have the VM serve web content from another folder, simply change "../app" to be a valid path on your local PC.

MySQL

MySQL is available from your host-PC on port 3307 (to avoid conflict with any local MySQL server you might have). If you prefer, you can change this in the Vagrantfile to 3306. The guest-OS provides MySQL on 3306 on localhost, so the default settings for web apps can be simply:

Host: localhost
User: root
Password: <none>

Apache

Apache is configured with the MPM-ITK module with document root set to /home/vagrant/app.

Once provisioning is completed, if you have left the Shared Folder setting as per the default you should be able to test the VM by accessing the PHPINFO or APC files:

Vagrant

Vagrant command line tools make it easy to manage your VM(s). For a summary, try: http://earlyandoften.wordpress.com/2012/09/06/vagrant-cheatsheat/ eg. if you ever need to access the command line of the VM you are running, just use vagrant ssh
