How to Deploy your MediaWiki-Vagrant instance to Amazon Web Services (AWS) | How to Deploy your MediaWiki-Vagrant instance to Amazon Web Services (AWS) | ||
Using multiple providers ''with the same virtual machine'' is not a feature of Vagrant. Supposedly this limitation will be removed in a future version of Vagrant. But there is a work-around that you can use to accomplish this -- by creating a multi-machine environment. We are describing that work-around. There are some "cheap" solutions that tell you to either delete, or rename the hidden <code>.virtualbox</code> directory in your project source. Don't do that. That's just deleting the information that you'd need for using the existing provider. Or, only do that if you are trying to permanently switch the provider used in your project -- which is not the case here. To get a fully compatible MediaWiki-Vagrant setup that works for both localhost VirtualBox deployments and cloud Amazon AWS deployments, then read on. | There is [http://www.iheavy.com/2014/01/16/how-to-deploy-on-amazon-ec2-with-vagrant/ this article] that explains how to do this, but I didn't want to create a separate VagrantFile. After not succeeding, I should probably go back and try that approach. | ||
