Installation

Ensure you have the following tools installed on your computer:

• Vagrant (http://vagrantup.com)
• VirtualBox (http://www.virtualbox.org)
• PHP (http://www.php.net)
• GIT (http://git-scm.com)
• Composer (http://getcomposer.org)

1. Clone this repo with the cookbooks submodule:

   git clone --recursive git://github.com/simshaun/symfony-vagrant.git
   

2. Edit vagrant/Vagrantfile to suit your needs.

3. Install Symfony using the installation instructions on http://symfony.com/download

4. cd to the vagrant folder and run vagrant up. This may take a few minutes.

5. Try to access the site. Unless you changed the server name and port in the Vagrantfile, the URL should be http://localhost:8080/. Edit your hosts file if you want a different URL.

   33.33.33.10  myproject
   

Post-Install

Symfony limits access to app_dev.php and config.php.

To use either of these files:

1. At the top of each file, add the Vagrant box IP (default: 33.33.33.10) to the array of allowed REMOTE_ADDR.

Multiple Projects in one Vagrant box

Typically you have one Vagrant box per project, but if you want to conserve disk space you can host multiple projects from one box.

1. Add additional projects to the web_apps variable at the top of vagrant/Vagrantfile.

   Here is an example configuration for 2 projects:

   web_apps = {
     "site1" => {
       "host_project_folder"  => "../app1/",
       "guest_project_folder" => "/home/vagrant/site1",
       "guest_docroot"        => "/home/vagrant/site1/web",
       "server_name"          => "site1",
       "server_aliases"       => ["*.site1"],
       "php_timezone"         => "America/New_York"
     },
     "site2" => {
       "host_project_folder"  => "../app2/",
       "guest_project_folder" => "/home/vagrant/site2",
       "guest_docroot"        => "/home/vagrant/site2/web",
       "server_name"          => "site2",
       "server_aliases"       => ["*.site2"],
       "php_timezone"         => "America/New_York"
     }
   }
   

2. On the host machine, add a new line to your hosts file with each projects' server_name value

   For example:

   33.33.33.10  site1
   33.33.33.10  site2
   

   33.33.33.10 is the IP specified in the Vagrantfile guest_ip variable.

Troubleshooting

1. Vagrant is complaining about the box's VBoxGuestAdditions not matching the host version.

   The VBoxGuestAdditions in the guest box are probably older than the ones you have on your host machine.

   There is a gem you can install called vagrant-vbguest that upgrades the guest additions on the guest box automatically.
