A Vagrant box, customised for WHMCS development, built on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa). It sets up all the stuff you're dreading.

• PHP 7.4
• MySQL 8.0
• ionCube Loaders v10.4.5
• Cron support (every 5 minutes)

• Vagrant
• Virtualbox
• A valid WHMCS license (development licenses are fine)
• A copy of WHMCS

1. Clone the repo to your local computer
2. Move the WHMCS source code into the public/whmcs directory, which should contain an empty file.
3. Edit the IP in Vagrantfile if you wish
4. Run vagrant up
5. Head to 192.168.13.37 (or the IP you changed it to)
6. Follow the on-screen instructions
7. Enjoy, we hope that's eased the development burden!

You can create additional databases on first provision (or after a vagrant destroy and vagrant up). You can configure those in config.json. By default, only one database will be created, whmcs_default.

You can create a line in your systems hosts file to use a hostname instead of the boxes IP address. A guide to edit your hosts file can be found here.

The default installation path is /public/whmcs but you can move that, or create additional installations as you see fit.

You can remove the cron or change it's frequency as you see fit, just vagrant-ssh into the box and run crontab -e to edit it.

Salmon for WHMCS extends many of the default models with extended functionality, making it easier to query the Eloquent models. It also contains an array of helper classes to make common tasks in WHMCS simpler and easier to do.
