Vagrant4SIW

Vagrant experiment with Tomee, PostgreSQL, Ruby, RoR

HOW TO INSTALL

1. Download and install Virtualbox https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
   • Vagrant is compatible with VirtualBox versions 4.0.x, 4.1.x, 4.2.x, and 4.3.x. Any other version is unsupported and the provider will display an error message.
   • Download and install Vagrant http://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html
   • You must download the latest version from site. Your vagrant version (vagrant -v) have to be >= 1.4
   • Ubuntu users: The package in Ubuntu Software Center or in apt is OLD. Download the new version from site.
   • Download and unzip this repository. It contains all Vagrant configurations to build VM.
   • Move with your command line to unzipped directory
   • Run vagrant up
   • Test your webserver here

HOW TO FIX PROBLEMS

Problem #1: "The forwarded port to 5432 is already in use on the host machine."

There is a software which is listening the port 5432 - have you Postgresql installed in your host? To fix it, open Vagrantfile with a text editor and change the 8th line:

config.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: 5432, host: 5432 #postgresql

with

config.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: 5432, host: 5431 #postgresql`

For linux/mac users: $ sed -i "s/host: 5432/host: 5431/g" Vagrantfile

Your virtualized PostgreSQL will be reacheable as localhost:5431

Problem #2: "The forwarded port to 8080 is already in use on the host machine."

There is a software which is listening the port 8080. To fix it, open Vagrantfile with a text editor and change the 6th line:

config.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: 8080, host: 8080 #tomee

with

config.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: 8080, host: 8800 #tomee`

For linux/mac users: $ sed -i "s/host: 8080/host: 8800/g" Vagrantfile

Now you can see the webserver as localhost:8800

Problem #3: localhost:8080 (or 8800 or something else) is unreachable

Try restarting web server:

For linux/mac users:

$ vagrant ssh # Get access to virtual server's shell

For windows users: Open ssh.bat

then, for all:

$ sudo /opt/tomee/bin/shutdown.sh # take down a possible blocked process - it can return an error
$ sudo /opt/tomee/bin/startup.sh # start the webserver - it can't return errors
$ exit # back to host's shell

Problem #4: Timed out while waiting for the machine to boot

This error is caused by virtual machine which is not responding to Vagrant. To fix it, open Virtualbox and force shutdown of VM:

Problem #5: The host path of the shared folder is missing: ./lib/

This problem is solved with the new version of project. To fix it without downloading again the project, you have to make a directory called lib near www.

From command line - for all platforms: mkdir lib

Problem #6: VM already provisioned run vagrant provision to force it

This IS NOT an error. It will appear everytime you start a VM after the first because it means you have already launched installation scripts successfully and if you want re-launch it intentionally run vagrant provision

Problem #7: stdin: is not a tty

Like above: this IS NOT an error. Don't care about it.
