Ubuntu Apache php5 and mysql with Yii Framework

First of all, I assume that you have already have the installed Ubuntu environment.

To install the apache server, open up your command line

#sudo apt-get install apache2

To install PHP5:

#sudo apt-get install php5

To install MySQL-Server

#sudo apt-get install mysql-server

To have a web-base controller of MySQL, you may install phpmyadmin

#sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin

Default Directory:

Apache: /var/www/

Apache Config: /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

MySQL: /var/lib/mysql

To check your apache is working or not,

go to http://localhost/

you will see It's work if the apache is installed well.

To check your php5 is working or not,

#cd /var/www/

#sudo touch test.php

#sudo vim test.php

write the following statement into test.php, then save and quit.

go to http://localhost/test.php

To run the Yii Framework:

Go to http://www.yiiframework.com/download/ to get the version you want.

Remember to get the tar.gz file for your Ubuntu, or you might need to install 7-zip

Decompress the file

#tar zxvf yii-1.1.x.tar.gz

Move the directory you decompressed to the web root

#sudo mv yii /var/www/

To check all the extension you need are installed

go to http://localhost/yii/requirements/

you will see the extensions which you already have and what you don't have.

Install the extension you need. For instance, if you want to use mysql as your database, then you might need to install PDO MySQL extension

using the same method to install the extension you need, that is

#sudo apt-get install xxx

VMWare Fusion-Assign Physical ip for virtual host

The configuration files for doing this reside in /Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/vmnet8/ (the NAT interface is called "vmnet8" hence why configuration for it is here), specifically dhcpd.conf and nat.conf. These files may be read-only (even for root), so make sure to give root write permission before you edit them.

Any changes to these files requires that the following be executed before they take effect:

sudo "/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/boot.sh" --restart

Assigning consistent IP addresses

As explained by this blog entry you can edit the dhcpd.conf file to configure VMWare Fusion's DHCP server to assign specific IP addresses to a VM based on its MAC address. You should see something like this in your dhcpd.conf file:

subnet 192.168.87.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {     range 192.168.87.128 192.168.87.254;     option broadcast-address 192.168.87.255;     option domain-name-servers 192.168.87.2;     option netbios-name-servers 192.168.87.2;     option domain-name "localdomain";     option routers 192.168.87.2; }

For our IP address assignments, we want to pick an IP address that is outside of the range that is set above. So in my case I picked 192.168.87.100 and 192.168.87.101 for two VMs that I wanted to configure.

So if we were to configure two VM's to have fixed IP addresses, we would add something like this to the dhcpd.conf file:

host uvm {     hardware ethernet 00:0c:29:02:00:f1;     fixed-address 192.168.87.100; }   host wvm {     hardware ethernet 00:0c:29:44:57:46;     fixed-address 192.168.87.101; }

I put entries in my /etc/hosts to point to these, so I don't have to remember IP addresses:

# Ubuntu VM 192.168.87.100        uvm # Windows XP VM 192.168.87.101        wvm

Port forwarding

To make services in NAT-configured VMs available outside of the host OS, we need to set up port forwarding. To do this edit the nat.conf file. Add entries under[incomingtcp] if you are forwarding a TCP connection and under [incomingudp] for a UDP connection. There are examples in this file, but to go along with our above examples, we might do something like this:

[incomingtcp] # Forward host port 2222 to SSH on Ubuntu VM 2222 = 192.168.87.100:22 # Forward Remote Desktop connections to Windows VM 3389 = 192.168.87.101:3389   [incomingudp] # Forward Remote Desktop connections to Windows VM 3389 = 192.168.87.101:3389

Restarting VMWare services on host

Don't forget that after we make any of the above changes, we need to restart the VMWare services using this command:

sudo "/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/boot.sh" --restart
