i'm new to this but i've managed to go this far. Still i don't understand what i'm supposed to do now to access rizzoma.lan or being able to see my rizzoma

So, if your DHCP server registers hostnames, you should just be able to browse to http://rizzoma.lan (which will be where Rizzoma is located) and http://rizzoma.lan:1080 (which is where the dummy e-mail server shows the e-mail sent from the Rizzoma application).

Is there some way I can re-write the README.md to help make this clearer, as this detail is in the file too? It's not a criticism of you, I know I could use some help in writing better documentation! These URLs are at the end of the section "What does this do" ( https://github.com/JonTheNiceGuy/rizzoma_skeleton#what-does-this-do)

I don't think it's you. I'm a graphic designer and i design UX interfaces. I'm installing rizzoma to customize it's interface :) never had to use ubuntu so i don't really know much.

I've made a lot of research and i've managed to install everything till this point.

My problem is now that the virtual box provide me only the terminal. there is no GUI and so i can't open firefox and access rizzoma.lan

So i'm stuck at the terminal screen without a gui waiting to find a way to open rizzoma.lan inside the virtual box :)

Ahhh, right once you've done vagrant up, you should only need to get into the VM to rebuild the application. You can access it directly in Firefox in your "host" machine - that is, the machine you run vagrant from.

Likewise, you don't need to be in the Vagrant session to edit CSS and templates, just take a look in the Application directory above the Vagrant directory once the machine is up.

The only time you'll need to go into the Vagrant VM is if you're editing the node application core.

i made a bad bad mistake. i did all the procedure with nothing in the applications folder because i'm new to github and just did "download zip". not knowing that in the zip there isn't the application folder ! i'm doing it all over again with the application folder full of sweetness this time.

Should I put a comment in the readme saying "don't download this, you must clone it" or should I make it so the puppet script checks whether a file exists in the rizzoma app location, and if it doesn't, clone it?

Hi If i may add a comment I think if you can make it work reliable automatically without too much effort that would be good, otherwise just add the comment before the Run part of the readme... I think it would be super if you can add something about dhcp. So you have to have a dhcp server installed correct? For me that was not clear as I was just attempting to play around with it locally :)

JonTheNiceGuy commented 10 years ago

If you don't have a DHCP server, you'll need to update the Vagrantfile and tell it to use a "Host only network", with a static IP address. I should probably document that too... I think part of the problem is that this was just supposed to be a framework, and not a guide to deploying Vagrant, but I guess that's part of the bite I've taken! :) I'll try and get something written up - probably not today (I've been doing lots of unsociable hours with work, so I owe my wife and kids some time!) but certainly before next week.
