Support for ubuntu

[riotCode]

It seems that this recipe doesn't actually configure for ubuntu, the final when "debian" is only referencing the "platform" not the "platform_family". Included "ubuntu" but the package did not install properly. Soooo... I made a make shift block before it for ubuntu. I would have done a pull request but I am a complete chef/ruby noob so I doubt this is best practice but I figured it could help someone who could apply what I did in a better fashion. :8ball:

 when "ubuntu"
    include_recipe "apt"

    execute "python-software-properties" do 
      command "apt-get install -y python-software-properties"
      action :run
    end

    execute "install php55" do
      #command "apt-get install -y php5"
      command "add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php5 && apt-get update -y && apt-get install -y php5 php5-mcrypt php5-json"
      action :run
    end

    execute "restart apache2" do
      #command "apt-get install -y php5"
      command "service apache2 restart"
      action :run
    end

This works flawlessly on my Vagrant Ubuntu 12.04 provisioning. I might test it on AWS Opsworks later on. Keep in mind the repo installs apache 2.4 as a dependancy so running most apache2 recipes usually cause errors because there are some breaking changes between 2.4 and older versions. I hope this helps, thank you :)

If someone finds this via google, like I did, I thought I'd share the code I ended up with

when "ubuntu"
    include_recipe "apt"

    package "python-software-properties" do
        action :install
    end

    apt_repository "ondrej-php-#{node["lsb"]["codename"]}" do
        uri "http://ppa.launchpad.net/ondrej/php5/ubuntu"
        distribution node["lsb"]["codename"]
        components ["main"]
        keyserver "keyserver.ubuntu.com"
        key "E5267A6C"
    end

    [ "php5", "php5-mysql", "php5-curl", "php5-mcrypt" ].each do |pkg|
        package pkg do
            action :install
            version "5.5.*"
            notifies :restart, "service[apache2]", :delayed
            notifies :run, "execute[apt-get autoremove]", :delayed
        end
    end
end

or, even better, use the php5_ppa cookbook: http://community.opscode.com/cookbooks/php5_ppa replacing

    apt_repository "ondrej-php-#{node["lsb"]["codename"]}" do
        uri "http://ppa.launchpad.net/ondrej/php5/ubuntu"
        distribution node["lsb"]["codename"]
        components ["main"]
        keyserver "keyserver.ubuntu.com"
        key "E5267A6C"
    end

with

include_recipe "php5_ppa::from_ondrej"

I'd also recommend taking a look at the apache 2.4 cookbook here http://github.com/onehealth-cookbooks/apache2-onehealth
