amplo

A sandbox environment for dev and innovation

##Requirements

• Virtualbox
• Vagrant

##Setup

1. Install all the Requirements
2. Clone the Git repo to your website directory (any directory really)
3. from the amplo root directory, run vagrant up
   • If you run into problems initializing the virtual server see the Troubleshooting section.

##Troubleshooting

• Problems initializing the vagrant virtual server?
  • Try vagrant destroy --force then vagrant up again
  • Try enabling Hardware virtualization by turning on the setting in your BIOS (Intel Virtualization Technology / Intel VT or AMD-V)
  • If you are using Hyper-V on a UEFI system you may additionally need to disable Hyper-V in order to access VT-x.
  • Make sure your firewall is not blocking the VirtualBox connection
  • If vagrant seems to hang / timeout while connecting to the virtual machine, try opening up VirtualBox GUI and check the preview for the machine. It may be waiting for input (eg: to choose which OS to load). Try opening up a GUI to the machine to provide input to the machine, to allow it to continue booting.
  • You can always try a different virtual server instead of VirtualBox (eg: VMWare, Parallels, etc), just change the provider config in Homestead.yaml to the correct virtual
  • See Laravel Homestead for more information
