Getting Started on Vagrant - Provisioning Docs

[Mayank Badola]

I'm quite new to Vagrant (like started 2 hours ago), hence i decided to follow the docs at https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/getting-started/

I ran into trouble when i ran the provisioning script given in the docs -

#!/usr/bin/env bash

apt-get update
apt-get install -y apache2
if ! [ -L /var/www ]; then
  rm -rf /var/www
  ln -fs /vagrant /var/www
fi


The conditional statement is supposed to change the DocumentRoot of Apache to our /vagrant directory.
But isn't the DocumentRoot of Apache /var/www/html?

I decided to follow the docs nevertheless but upon requesting for 
the index.html page I created inside my project directory(/vagrant inside vm) i got a 404 response.

But on changing to the provisioning script to -  

#!/usr/bin/env bash

apt-get update
apt-get install -y apache2
if ! [ -L /var/www/html ]; then
  rm -rf /var/www/html
  ln -fs /vagrant /var/www/html
fi

I was able to GET index.html.

Please let me know what might have gone wrong or if the docs need an update. I'll be very eager to make a PR.
Thanks

hello

on the vagrant file then you can do

mkdir -p /vagrant/html

echo 'hello' > /vagrant/html/index.html

rite?

Alvaro.

Yeah, that would work, but wouldn't it mean that i'd have to put all my code inside the /vagrant/html directory?

[Alvaro Miranda Aguilera]

Hello,

The getting started is just a sample guide, from there if you think www/html is too much, and you will be using only html, sure you can update the mount point.

but usually you use www/html www/cgi-bin www/icons etc
