Improvements to documentation

[pixelite]

Here are the steps I followed:

• Go to ~/code and git clone git://github.com/dergachev/vagrant_drupal.git
• Copy a fresh Drupal database into vagrant_drupal/fresh-drupal
• Checkout Drupal into vagrant_drupal/fresh-drupal/site
• Edit the VagrantFile to use the correct paths to the files above
• Edit the settings.php file and set the username and password
• Create the install file at vagrant_drupal/fresh-drupal/fresh-drupal-sql-post-load.sh
• Change the port in the VagrantFile to 8090 (since I was already using 8080 for something else)
• Navigate to localhost:8090

I had to create drupal-fresh.sql.gz, I did the following:

vagrant ssh cd /var/shared/sites/drupal-fresh/site
sudo drush site-install

Here are the changes I made to my vagrant file:

In my fresh-drupal-sql-post-load.sh, I just included this line to reset the admin password:

drush user-password admin --password='changeme'

Because I used drush site-install to create the fresh database, the user 1 username is admin.

Notes on setting up Vagrant on Jan 18

# Add previously created base box to use; sourced from macbook air
vagrant box add precise64-customized-sk precise64-customized-sk.box

# Setup a vagrant repo:
git clone https://github.com/dergachev/vagrant_drupal.git ~/code/vagrant_drupal

# Install Librarian-Chef
sudo gem install librarian --no-rdoc --no-ri
cd ~/code/vagrant_drupal 
librarian-chef install

# download drupal 8 and store it in "site/"
mkdir ~/code/vagrant_drupal/drupal8 
cd ~/code/vagrant_drupal/drupal8
wget http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/drupal-8.x-dev.tar.gz 
tar xzvf drupal-8.x-dev.tar.gz
mv drupal-8.x-dev site

# created drupal8-sql-post-load.sh:
echo "drush user-password admin --password='changeme'" > drupal8/db/drupal8-sql-post-load.sh 

Edited Vagrantfile as follows:

       },
     })

     # chef.log_level = :debug
   end
-  
 end

At this point "drush provision" succeeds, but the db isnt yet deployed.
