A Web Development Environment

Update: Working on a new version, which isn’t ready yet. It should contain:

• Secure backups
• Review of all content
• Linux Mint
• Git update with database migration and serialization

I’ve created a document that describes setting up a web development environment using a Windows 7 workstation, an Ubuntu 12.04 Virtual machine along with a Hostgator Reseller account and, most importantly, Git.

This document provides lots of examples. Feel free to provide constructive feedback to atuline@gmail.com.

Topics covered include:

Oracle Virtualbox	phpMyAdmin
Hostgator Web Hosting	vim
Drupal	Git
WordPress	drush
Site Migration	wp-cli
FTP	Samba
Apache	SSH
MySQL	GIMP
PHP	NetBeans

I have now released version ‘1.0‘ of this document as well as a sister document for installing Virtualmin and Webmin on Ubuntu 12.04.
