Developing on Windows -> Deploying on a Virtual Machine?

Is there an easy way to integrate with VirtualBox such that I could develop under the host, Windows, and deploy and run sc开发者_高级运维ripts via a mounted folder in a guest linux system?

I'm looking to develop for Linux under Windows, kind of.

You can use VirtualBox's Shared Folders feature to enable your Ubuntu virtual machine to mount a directory of your Windows host. However, you're likey to be deal with some impedance mismatches like different line endings. I hope that is the least of your worries.

You might want to check out vagrant http://vagrantup.com/

It provides a nice and easy system to create a VM from a template in Virtual Box, and will automatically mount the project folder in the guest VM. The config can also easily be included in your project so others can use it.

I develop in PHP. And I use Debian as guest OS, and Win7 as host OS.

You can done automaticly mount share folder by:

1. new a file in /etc/init.d/ named mnt_win_sf, than you edit it:

   It must has the same info head with /etc/init.d/apache2. And you need just one line of command:

   mount -t vboxsf share_folder_name mount_point

2. We also need to excute this script before apache2, so we edit /etc/init.d/apache2. In the Require Start line, add mnt_win_sf

3. update them by:

   sudo update-rc.d mnt_win_sf defaults

   sudo update-rc.d apache2 defaults
