CentOS and PHP

Download the latest Virtual Box for OSX/Darwin: LINK

Download Vagrant for OSX: LINK

Make a directory and do the folowwing

touch Vagrantfile

There are two paths

1: The easy path: EASY LIFE

Go to the link for easy path

2: The learning path that is still a bit easy :{D

Follow the rest for the semi easy path

Paste this in your eidtor and save

      # config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 80, host: 8080

SSH into your VM

vagrant shh

Setup the rest of your machine to be ready for php and mysql

     sudo yum install httpd mod_ssl
     sudo /usr/sbin/apachectl start
     sudo /usr/sbin/apachectl restart
     sudo iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
     sudo service iptables save
     sudo /sbin/chkconfig httpd on
     sudo /sbin/chkconfig --list httpd

Install PHP

     sudo yum install php-mysql php-devel php-gd php-pecl-memcache php-pspell php-snmp php-xmlrpc php-xml

Restart Apache

     sudo /usr/sbin/apachectl restart

Check it works

Inside your VM do the following:

    curl 127.0.0.1

You should get an HTML response with the word CentOS in a couple of places.

###On your host machine go to:

    localhost:8080

There should be a rendered HTML page!

Next steps involve figuring out how PHP uses Apache to serve files so that it can be seen

Ideal Workflow

Spin up VM
Use OSX to develop and test in Development
Use git in the VM to pull new changes
Verify changes render correctly on port 8080 from the VW
Then push to actual Production server
