Can I make apache init run after shared folder is mounted?

  • 772

Ubuntu 16.04 running on a vagrant virtual machine on a Windows 8.1 host.

My xdebug.ini file is symlinked to a directory that's shared with the host machine. (This is so I can create new machines and have xdebug.ini set up how I want, and and edits I make to it are always available on the Windows host - I don't have to worry about backing up configurations from the VM)

It seems like the directory is mounted after apache has been started during boot. So I always have to restart apache to load xdebug.

Can I make it so that apache starts after the shared directory is mounted? Or automatically restart apache after startup, so I don't have to do it manually?

mount apache2 bootloader boot-order

    Ok, so I figured out an answer. I'm not super familiar with manipulating the linux boot sequence and even though this is a vagrant machine, I didn't want to break it.

    So I found a vagrant solution for my problem.

    I just added this bash script, startup.sh, to the virtual machine in a directory shared with the host:

    #!/usr/bin/env bash

systemctl restart apache2

    Then I modified my Vagrantfile to add the following line:

    config.vm.provision :shell, path: "startup.sh", run: "always"

    Or, you could skip the separate bash script and run it inline in the Vagrantfile as Karl suggested in the comments:

    config.vm.provision :shell, inline: 'systemctl restart apache2', run: 'always'

    So, now my VM restarts Apache after boot, and everything works as I wanted it to.
