Themes.Vagrant

To use this vagrant machine you need to install vagrant and virtualbox.

Needed Software

Please download and install the following software

• virtualbox https://www.virtualbox.org/
• vagrant http://vagrantup.com/ (pick the latest version for your operating system)
• git (windows: https://code.google.com/p/msysgit/)

As visual git Desktop client I think sourcetree is the best choice, but you may also use tortoisegit on windows.

• https://code.google.com/p/tortoisegit/

First Startup

To power on the virtual machines you need to switch to the commandline. Go into the git repository and run:

git clone https://github.com/typo3-themes/Vagrant.Themes.git typo3-themes-box
cd typo3-themes-box
vagrant up

This will download and initialise the basic image (later on this command will be blazing fast, as the base vm is already available on your system).

Other important commands

vagrant suspend - suspend the CM
vagrant status  - show status of the virtual maschine
vagrant halt    - shutdown the virtual maschine
vagrant destroy - destroy the virtual maschine (drop virtual drives, ...)

You can get more information about vagrant from the vagrant documentation: http://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/

Some important commands

Access the VM via SSH:
vagrant ssh

Easily gain root rights:
sudo su -

Access the apache error logs on the fly (auto refresh):
sudo tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log

Have fun!
