This is a minimal Zend Server/Chef with MySQL template.

Requirements

Vagrant plugins:

Host machine:

Clone or download, then modify the attributes in the chef.json section.

By default, it uses the Chef Ubuntu 14.04 form the Vagrant Cloud (https://vagrantcloud.com/chef/boxes/ubuntu-14.04), but you can use any distribution that is supported by Zend Server (http://www.zend.com/en/products/server/systemrequirements - Linux section).

The attributes:

version: the version of Zend Server that you want to install (default: 7.0) - can be set to "early-access" for beta install
phpversion: the version of PHP (default: 5.5)
basedirdeb: set to "deb" to install on Apache 2.2 - otherwise leave out
adminpassword: the password to use for the MySQL root user
production: false for a development system
apikeyname: the name for the api key that Chef creates - can be anything other than "admin"
apikeysecret: a 64 alphanumeric string

MySQL's Chef Cookbook v6 doesn't create a default socket as it supports the installation of many MySQL instances. Therefore to connect to MySQL either specify the socket explicitely or use the localhost IP address. Ref: https://github.com/chef-cookbooks/mysql#the-mysql-command-line-doesnt-work

mysql -S /var/run/mysql-default/mysqld.sock -Pwhatever or mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -Pwhatever
