hitting urls http://admin.testmyltd.com:4567/app_dev.php , http://admin.testmyltd.com/ loads project directory structure in browser,

trying run project through port 4567 (http://admin.testmyltd.com:4567/app_dev.php) throws run time exception :

runtimeexception: failed write cache file "/vagrant/app/cache/dev/classes.php". 

full permission set "vagrant" directory in guest os , project directory in host os along files , sub directories inside that.

can tell me things went wrong ?

thanks in advance.

as per discussion had, can problem permission user.

following scenario.

your host os running under user pc-16, , /var/www directory having ownership of pc-16 user itself. default under ubuntu/debian apache running www-data user mode. first change run pc-16 (i'l tell later why need that)

in host os:

changing user of apache under host os user.

$sudo vi /etc/apache2/envvars 

and change

export apache_run_user=www-data export apache_run_group=www-data 

to,

export apache_run_user=pc-16 export apache_run_group=pc-16 

and restart apache2,

$sudo service apache2 restart 

it may give error regarding /var/lock/apache2 directory, in case change ownership of /var/lock/apache2 pc-16 user.

$sudo down pc-16:pc-16 /var/lock/apache2 

and restart apache2,

$sudo service apache2 restart 

also make sure /var/www/virtualhost-directory/app/ writable. if it's not, change permission host-os terminal.

$sudo chmod 777 /var/www/virtualhost-directory/app 

running $vagrant up run virtualbox guest machine pc-16 user mode, , have privileges of user pc-16

the problem is, apache in host-os running under www-data user mode, , web-application trying create directory/files under /var/www/, have changed work pc-16 user.

now, in vagrant box, run user vagrant , shared directory of host come vagrant user ownership only, (with few limitations can't change ownership of shared files guest os). so, need change apache user of guest os vagrant.

follow same steps described host-os apache.

in guest os:

changing user of apache under guest os vagrant.

$sudo vi /etc/apache2/envvars 

and change

export apache_run_user=www-data export apache_run_group=www-data 

to,

export apache_run_user=vagrant export apache_run_group=vagrant 

and restart apache2,

$sudo service apache2 restart 

in case locking directory ownership error.

$sudo chown vagrant:vagrant /var/lock/apache2 

and restart apache2,

$sudo service apache2 restart 

now should able access web-application host-os like,

http://admin.testmyltd.com/    <-- run project local directory  http://admin.testmyltd.com:4567/app_dev.php  <-- run same project vagrant box (shared project directory)
