cURL in DAB

[apmuthu]

When building a VM using DAB, choosing PHP5 does not automatically install cURL for PHP5. It needs to be installed from the VM's console using:

aptitude install php5-curl

Then restart the VM. Afterwards, the console displays it's successful installation:

aptitude show php5-curl

just add this package in the dab configuration files before your create the template and it get installed.

 

[apmuthu]

In dab Makefile, we just insert the aptitude commands by replacing aptitude with dab.
For example, in the Makefile:-

.
.
.
dab task mysql
dab task php
.
.
dab install php5-mysql
dab install php5 curl
.
.
.

The man dab pages need more examples.

How do we install innodb for mysql and configure it in dab?
