vagrant-lamp

An initial LAMP stack for Vagrant.

Overview

Provisions a base Linux VM to run an Apache web server and MySQL database server, with PHP support. Uses the following:

• CentOS 7
• Apache 2.4
• MariaDB 5.5
• PHP 5.4.16

Requirements

• VirtualBox
• Vagrant

Getting Started

1. Make a secrets.cfg file:

$ cp .provision/secrets/secerts.cfg.example .provision/secrets/secrets.cfg

1. Update secrets.cfg with a root DB_PASSWORD.
2. Spin up the VM:

$ vagrant up
$ vagrant ssh

Features

Multiple Virtual Hosts

Two virtual hosts are included at startup as an example of how Apache can server multiple hosts with the same instance.

• http://192.168.33.10
• http://example.com

SSL Enabled by Default

SSL is enabled by default. The bootstrap script follows recommendations from Configure Apache Web Server on Amazon Linux to use SSL/TLS to make the server more secure.

Use HTTPS with the initial sites for secure traffic.

Additional Tools

1. phpMyAdmin
2. WP-CLI

Notes

Apache PHP Info

https://192.168.33.10/phpinfo.php is active by default to demonstrate PHP being properly installed.

After verifying, you may want to remove this file (/var/www/html/phpinfo.php) for security reasons.

Accessing Named Hosts from Your Local Browser

This setup adds example.com as a virtual host. Edit your local hosts file to point this domain to your VM's IP:

# Vagrant Domains
192.168.33.10  example.com

Set up additional virtual hosts in /etc/httpd/conf.d/, a la example.com.conf.
