The source is included in /usr/local/src. If this might help some of you with your own builds, great, but it should also work if you just want to use it as-is. If you want to play with it you can get it here:

Thank for you job. I'll test it. What you think about use it it production? If it works, I'll to convert it from VM to real hardware and use it for day to day.

Its the same basic setup I use on physical boxes so it should be production ready but it might be easier to just rsync /usr/local/src, the configs (/etc/ and such), and duplicate the installed packages to a minimal 14.04 server install instead of converting from a VM to real hardware. Or maybe not, its been years since I attempted to convert a VM to a 'real' box...perhaps its easier now.

I moved from VBox to real HW. It works for me. I plan to go my production now.

Nice. Its working well?

Thanks for putting this together, linuxsense. I don't have a need for this myself, but I'm willing to seed to make the download quicker for others.

If I ever get the time, I'll edit the ovf file to make it compatible with vmware. You can then ship your image with two ovf files and let the end user decide which one to use.

Right on. I have been meaning to take care of the vmware compatibility issues but I have just been too busy with IT work I actually get paid for

Not so... Can you help me? It works fine, but I have problem with timeline.

In your VM you setup your time zone, but I need to setup Europe/Moscow. I'm not shure about relation this, but my timeline shows me '-13' hour from my time... For example: if I have 11.00 PM (europe/moscow) in my ubuntu, events timeline shows me only last event at 10.00 AM. I'm not shure how I can fix it. I try to setup my.cf for global time zone without success. I'll glad for you help.

I cant look into it in detail right now but my initial guess is the systems timezone info needs uodating for your region. I can look into it in a few hours.

Check timezone settings in php.ini
