install virtual box
install vargenat
clone vvv=apache(if using apache!)
enter vvvapache folder
command vagrant up
goto vvv.dev - this shows  what is currently available to use

now we want to make our own wordpress instance to wokr on
coomand vagrant ssh
we are now in our virtuak server
sites are stored iin the srv dirsctory
cd into srv>www
create new folder for your site (mkdir yoursitename)
enther foldaer
Lets test - you can create a simple php(or html?) file here to test called index.php
after this is created go to the top level and cd to etc/apache2/custom-sites
duplicate the wordpress-default.conf with cp wordpress-default.conf yoursitename.conf
edit yoursitename.conf and remove the <virtualhost>...</virtualhost> from all the configurations EXCEPT "Default apache catch-all server" [remove stable, trunk,,delvelopsrc, develope build]

change the properties in the Default to DocumentRoot /srv/www/yoursitemane and Servername local.yoursitename (this can be whatever you want to navigate to get to your site)

Crete another terminal window, go to local root and open etc/hosts text file
you will see and entry with all of the various wp dev sites - add your to the list eg - local.yoursitename

Go back to the local server terminal window and restart server with sudo service apache2 restart
You should be able to navigate to the text page in the browser and see your test page

Now install wordpress on here
on localserver goto nav/www/yoursitename
remove the test file we made (index.php)
Aside - If you want to use the Duplicator plugin exported files - copy installer.php and acrchive.zip to this folder and go to installer.php and follow instructions (not sure of DB credentials tbh)
Download the current version of WP
copy zip to local host location - vvv-apache>www>yoursitename and exract the files (this is the local directory fo your server)
You may need to move files up a level out of wordpress folder
Navigate to local.yoursitename to see your WP install
We now need a DB to store all the WP files

Go back to server terminal and create a DB with: mysql -u root -p
Inside the mysql terminal type: CREATE DATABASE yoursitename;
create a user: CREATE USER yourname@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
link the user to the database: GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON yousitename.* TO yourname@localhost;
then flush privileges: FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
type 'exit' to quit the mysql terminal

Back to the browser
Now we have a DB to use fill in the details with what you just created
Databasename: yoursitename
User name: yourname (notice no @localhost)
password: password (I'm not sure where this value comes from or is its default check IDENTIFIED BY 'XXXXX')
database host: localhost
table prefix: wp_
Now you can just folloe the onscreen steps to setup the WP site

To shut down the Virtual machine - navigate to the vargrantfile eg vvv-apache>www>yoursitename
and type : vagrant halt
To restart the server go to this directory and type: vagrant up

DONE!!!!
