Configuring Apache for your project

To configure Apache and make it available for you to access you will require to add the following:

1. An Apache configuration file suitable for your project.
2. Create a port forward to be able to access Apache from your browser.

The following configuration links to an Apache configuration inside your project and creates a port forward:

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
    config.vm.box = "nijens/apache-php-mysql"
    
    config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 80, host: 8080, host_ip: "127.0.0.1"
    
    config.vm.provision "shell", inline: "sudo ln -s /vagrant/path/to/apache.conf /etc/apache/sites-enabled/apache.conf"
end

Make sure the document root of your Apache configuration is directed to /vagrant.

Adding Elasticsearch to the Vagrant box of your project

Some projects require, besides a MySQL database, an Elasticsearch database to run. For this case a shell script is provided to easily add it to your box.

The following configuration shows how to add the script to your configuration and install Elasticsearch 2.x:

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
    # ...
    
    config.vm.provision "shell", 
        path: "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nijens/vagrant-apache-php-mysql/master/provision/elasticsearch.sh", 
        sha1: 5504b8c4a2d0eac994f98ca6b963d8a24228b83e,
        args: ["2"]
    
    # ...
end

In the above example version 2.x of Elasticsearch is installed by adding args: ["2"], but you can also install version 6.x by changing the version number.

For more information on configuration of your Vagrant box, see the Vagrant documentation.
