vagrant – Old versions with puppet

Question:

I'm learning Vagrant and Puppet and want to know if possible to install old versions of PHP, MySQL, Apache using puppet? If yes, how to do it?

Ex: PHP 5.4.9, 5.5 Mysql 5.5.27, 5.6

Answer:

You can specify a version:

package { 'php' :
  ensure => '5.2' ,
}

But remember that if the required version of the package (RPM, deb, etc) is not available in your default repository, you will have to go one of these ways:

  • Find an alternate repository that has the package in the version you need and add it to the repository list.

  • Set up your own repository that contains this package

  • Install directly, specifying the path to the package as explained below.

Could be like that:

package { 'php' : 
    ensure => '5.2' , 
    source => '/caminho/para/o/php-5.2.rpm' , 
}
