Hi. For some reason my last didn't post, so trying again... I'm very new to Vagrant and I am no sys admin. I'm hoping to use it to develop WordPress sites. I am currently using Chris Wiegman's Primary Vagrant <https://github.com/ChrisWiegman/Primary-Vagrant> which is working very well. Except when I start to add the files for my theme it starts to run VERY slowly. After a bit of research it might have something to do with synched files as that can slow things down.
My host OS is Windows 8 64 bit My guest OS is Ubuntu After Googling I found out that the latest Vagrant versions offer a work around with rsync. This blog post<https://www.vagrantup.com/blog/feature-preview-vagrant-1-5-rsync.html>states: *As long as rsync is installed in both the host and the guest, this will just work. Since rsync is a standard utility for Mac and most Linux distributions, this just works most of the time! For Windows users, msysgit, MinGW, and Cygwin all provide rsync.* That leaves me scratching my head- what do I need to do to get this working? Currently I am using the command line shell from GitHub (uses Powershell) and I'd prefer to continue using that. I've installed Git for Windows and Cygwin but they require me to use different command line environments. As you can probably tell I don't really understand- but I want to get this sorted. Once I've got that sorted, I assume I just need to add type: "rsync", rsync__exclude: ".git/" to the synced folder lines in my Vagrant file: config.vm.synced_folder "sites/stable.wordpress.vagrant", "/var/www/stable.wordpress.vagrant", :owner => "www-data", :mount_options => [ "dmode=775", "fmode=774" ], type: "rsync", rsync__exclude: ".git/" config.vm.synced_folder "sites/stable.wordpress.vagrant/uploads", "/var/www/stable.wordpress.vagrant/wordpress/wp-content/uploads", :owner => "www-data", :mount_options => [ "dmode=775", "fmode=774" ], type: "rsync", rsync__exclude: ".git/" config.vm.synced_folder "sites/trunk.wordpress.vagrant", "/var/www/trunk.wordpress.vagrant", :owner => "www-data", :mount_options => [ "dmode=775", "fmode=774" ], type: "rsync", rsync__exclude: ".git/" Is that correct? I love Vagrant, but it does require a lot of technical knowledge- particularly for those of us who don't have a lot of server experience. Has anyone got any experience in getting rsync working on Windows? Thanks! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Vagrant" group.
