Vagrantfile, shell provisioner, Apache conf file, and directory structure for a basic LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) server.

To use this Vagrantfile you will need a basic Vagrant setup. This includes Vagrant and a VM provider, such as Oracle's VirtualBox. For more information on how to use Vagrant, see the Vagrant Getting Started page. You will also need root user (sudo) permissions to launch the VM, as we are assigning a custom hostname.

Root Folder (This is the main folder for the project and can be of any name that you choose.)
|
- /public_html (This folder contains all the files for your site.)
|
- /conf (This folder contains the Apache .conf file for site configuration.)
|
- /vagrant (This folder contains the Vagrantfile and lamp.sh provisioner file.)

By default the site will be named lamp.dev. If you wish to change this to a different name (e.g. my-site.dev) you must change every reference to lamp.dev in the following files to the custom name:

• /conf/lamp.dev.conf Filename must be changed to the new name (e.g. lamp.dev.conf becomes my-site.dev.conf)
• /vagrant/Vagrantfile
• /vagrant/lamp.sh This filename must be changed as well.

To accomplish this task is do a search and replace through the above files for 'lamp' and replace with your chosen project name.

1. Clone or download the ZIP archive of this Git repository to your project folder.

2. Open your console go to the vagrant directory of the project. Type $ vagrant up. This will load the Vagrant VM with a 64-bit Linux Ubuntu machine. The console will ask for your sudo password to set the custom hostname.

3. Once the VM has finished loading open your web browser and navigate to 'http://lamp.dev'. You should see a basic webpage that says 'Welcome to Vagrant!' and the current time in GMT. To stop the server enter $ vagrant halt into your console while in the /vagrant directory. You can also enter $ vagrant destroy to completely remove the VM from your system.
