• a virtual machine running 64-bit version of Ubuntu

How to use

You have to check out the your code base yourself

Change the /tmp path in Vagrantfile to point to your local website checkout.

config.vm.synced_folder "/tmp", "/codebase"

A NFS share is used on unix based systems but on Windows systems this does not work.

And then...

Download these files: https://www.dropbox.com/s/cgmycpeeu7pjelr/ColdFusion_10_WWEJ_linux64.bin?dl=1
https://www.dropbox.com/s/96w4ssf89uzx570/jre-7u15-linux-x64.tar.gz?dl=1
to here:
./files/downloads

Also, edit the ./files/hosts.txt file to match your local host names.

Run this command to power up the VM:
vagrant up

Windows users can use the Git Bash shell to run vagrant.

Access

The Vagrantfile contains the port numbers used, e.g. http is accessible via port :8880.

Main website: [http://test.local:8880/index.cfm]
ColdFusion admin: [http://localhost:8520/CFIDE/administrator] password: 0000
Squirrel Webmail: [http://localhost:8880/squirrelmail] (username: vagrant, password: vagrant)

If you want to run the servers on standard ports such as 80 and 443 you have to use a proxy server on your host machine.

The e-mail is gathered in a mbox file located in ./mail. You can also use Evolution Mail or some other client to access it directly.
