Installing httpd, MySQL, and PHP from source with Vagrant + Ansible and verifying startup

Development environment

• MacOSX Yosemite 10.10.3
• VirtualBox 4.3.26 r98988
• Vagrant 1.7.2
• Ansible 1.9.1

Steps

1. Add the Vagrant Box

$ vagrant box add centos6.5 https://github.com/2creatives/vagrant-centos/releases/download/v6.5.1/centos65-x86_64-20131205.box

2. Clone the git repository

$ git clone https://github.com/kenzo0107/Vagrant-Ansible

3. Start the VM with Vagrant

$ cd Vagrant-Ansible/centos6
$ vagrant up

4. Write the ssh-config settings to ssh.config

$ vagrant ssh-config > ssh.config

5. Connectivity test for the VM

$ ansible default -m ping

default | success >> {
    "changed": false,
    "ping": "pong"
}

If success is output as shown above, the test passed.

6. Run the environment setup with Ansible

$ ansible-playbook lamp.yml

Occasionally a timeout occurred, but
running it again completed the setup without any problems.

7. Verify that Apache is running

Access http://192.168.33.10 and
if Working! is displayed, it succeeded.

8. Verify the connection from PHP to MySQL

Access http://192.168.33.10/dbtest.php and
if Connect Success: Localhost via UNIX socket
is displayed, it succeeded.

That’s all.
