http://morison.biz/technotes/articles/61 I've been doing a fair bit of PHP and Python on Linux recently. My favorite PHP editor, PhpEd is Windows only. However, I prefer to develop LAMP code on LAMP. Here's a solution: Linux on VirtualBox, networked to the host Windows OS. NOTE: The latest version of VirtualBox, 3.0.2 at this time, puts a few things in different places, particularly the VT-x/AMD-V and Nested Paging settings. Check the latest VirtualBox docs for more info  Get and install VirtualBox for your system.  Get the install iso for your preferred Linux distro, in my case Ubuntu  Create a new virtual machine in VirtualBox, e.g., by clicking "New" and using the Virtual Machine Wizard  Navigating the wizard is straightforward. Name your machine, set the OS type, etc. I configure for 768MB RAM and create a new 30 GB hard drive. If your DB or file storage needs for dev are large, up the disk as needed. The RAM is plenty for most dev LAMP servers unless you run big backend progs.  Once you've created the machine and disk, before booting the VM, go to the Settings dialog, General, Advance tab and turn on Nested Paging. VirtualBox will only use it if available, but if it is available, it greatly streamlines the memory interface between guest and host.  Now attach the boot/install iso you downloaded for your linux distro. Use the VirtualBox Media Manager to attach the iso, then mount it on your VM.  Next, go to the Network entry in Settings and enable Adapter 2, set Attached to: to Host-only Adapter and Name to VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter. This adapter will be for Apache name and IP virtual hosts exposed on the host OS.  Finally (as far as the VM setup goes) ... en 2006-2008, Rod Morison Software technotes@morison.biz Sun, 01 Aug 2010 08:46:19 GMT Yet Another Community System http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss 70 http://morison.biz/technotes/comments/14 http://morison.biz/technotes/comments/14 Great tut so far, but I keep getting an error when I try to restart the network. if-up.d/mountntfs : waiting for interface eth1:0 before doing NFS mounts if-up.d/mountntfs : waiting for interface eth1:1 before doing NFS mounts if-up.d/mountntfs : waiting for interface eth1:2 before doing NFS mounts SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address Failed to bring up eth1:0 SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address Failed to bring up eth1:1 SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address Failed to bring up eth1:2 I'm using VB 3.0.10 with a Ubuntu 8.10 64bit guest OS, running on a WinXP x64 host machine.
