LAMP (PHP 5.5) w/ Vagrant

A basic Ubuntu 12.04 Vagrant setup with PHP 5.5.

Requirements

run vagrant up inside the newly created directory
(the first time you run vagrant it will need to fetch the virtual box image which is ~300mb so depending on your download speed this could take some time)
Vagrant will then use puppet to provision the base virtual box with our LAMP stack (this could take a few minutes)
You can verify that everything was successful by opening http://vagrant.dev in a browser

Some basic information on interacting with the vagrant box

Accessible at http://vagrant.dev/phpmyadmin using MySQL access credentials above.

Note: All XDebug settings can be configured in the php.ini template at puppet/modules/php/templates/php.ini.erb

Vagrant is very well documented but here are a few common commands:

vagrant up starts the virtual machine and provisions it
vagrant suspend will essentially put the machine to 'sleep' with vagrant resume waking it back up
vagrant halt attempts a graceful shutdown of the machine and will need to be brought back with vagrant up
vagrant ssh gives you shell access to the virtual machine
