Virtualbox

Drupal Dev Environment Virtual Machine. Install notes and scripts.

Hi,

Imagine being able to teach someone to review/create patches, without having to teach them to setup a LAMP development environment.
Imagine windows and mac users, friends, learning together to do (blank) with a virtual machine development environment.

I created a virtualbox Drupal development image. I wanted a simple platform to collaborate with several others on for a project. I thought others might benefit from the work.

Features include:
- Slim lightweight image (OS+tools are under 1gig)
- LAMP with APC
- Netbeans and Eclipse with debugging

Here's a prebuilt virtualbox environment for development. Works on any platform. I think this is a great way to introduce people to developing Drupal with FOSS tools. if nothing else it provides a debugging environment plug-and-play.

What is it?

its a Virtualbox VDI image (which has a smaller footprint than VMware) using Ubuntu Hardy 8.04.

The the image of course (like VMware) works on any platform, Windows, Mac, *nix. I think anything with a JAVA JRE stack.

The setup includes:

  • LAMP - using xampp - for a cleaner / easier interface for noobs, and includes phpmyadmin
