Varying Vagrant Vagrants - How to Edit Plugin - wordpress

I got VVV running on my new MAC OS 10. The issue is I have never used VVV before and frankly I'm not certain which files I should be looking for or editing.
I'd like to local the wp-content folder on the local dev server,this way I can edit my plugin locally.
Here are the two dev servies I was using:
http://local.wordpress-trunk.dev
http://local.wordpress.dev
Any tips on how I should go about finding the plugin folder? Or am I going about it wrong and should be using command terminal?
Thanks!

I am unable to vagrant up

I am using a file from GitHub
It has a vagrant file with it. When I run vagrant up command in my terminal, I get an error.
The terminal should show READ ABOVE message when successful download
I want to type in the address to the site on my browser to start a local development server.
Its pretty old file and the repo was using puphpet but this project seems dead for 2 years, the website is down.
In your case, vagrant is trying to download the box from internet but the owner of this box hosted it under the puphpet domain not available anymore
I am not sure what's the best way to help now:
find another more recent example and start from there
if you want to fix this, you will need https://github.com/LearnWebCode/vagrant-lamp/blob/master/puphpet/config.yaml#L6 and use a different box available on vagrant site, ubuntu 16.04 is pretty old now but you can search one from vagrant box

Best way to develop a WP-site on multiple machines

I'm busy working on my portfolio and I have a localhost setup. I use Wordpress as my CMS.
Since I'm not always home, I'd like to work on this project when on other machines (not on the same network, indeed).
What am I to do? Should I setup another localhost on the other computer and copy the wp files to over there? If so, how do I do that without mixing things up?
I've searched on Google for an answer but couldn't find any that solve my problem.
If the PCs at both locations run Windows, your solution would be to make a portable (USB stick/pen drive) installation of XAMPP + WordPress (+ your site).
A shortcut would be to make the portable XAMPP install, then install/use the Duplicator plugin (on the working site) to migrate it over to the USB drive, which will save you the trouble of installing WordPress.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/
Once the portable install is ready, you just use it wherever, and your site will never go out of sync. :-)
Here is a nice guide to portable installation:

Hope this works for you.

Setting up wordpress on Ubuntu 12.04

I have dual-booted my Win7 laptop with Ubuntu 12.04, and I'm trying to install Wordpress. I have installed Apache2, Mysql-Server, and Wordpress and I keep getting asked for ftp credentials when I try and install plugins/themes. I know how to install the themes etc. manually by downloading and unzipping into the correct folders, but this isn't a permanent solution.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling everything but I keep getting faced with tutorials on setting up virtual hosts and I'm not sure if I need to have one?
Can anyone point me to an easy to follow (for beginners) tutorial from scratch? Or tell me if I'm missing something?
My Wordpress site needs to be moved from local machine to a server when it's finished (I don't know the server yet so I can't just start using it) so I need it to be as easy to use as possible.
Yes, there are available tutorials for that.
Step 1-
Installing the server-
Installing the server
Initial Setup (Optional)
Step 2-
Installing Wordpress-

Using Docker for Drupal Dev (Local)

So, to put it simply, I have a drupal site that's live.
I want to work on it locally and use docker containers to manage that.
I want to use this Image:
https://index.docker.io/u/bnchdrff/nginx-php5-drupal/
And use this as my data container:
https://index.docker.io/u/bnchdrff/mariadb/
I have the database downloaded from the live site saved as an .sql file.
I need to be able to use this pre-existing database.
Best case scenario is to be able to run the images in terminal and open a browser, navigate to something like 'localhost' and have the Drupal site pop up there for me to work on.
I am running Ubuntu 13.10 and have the latest version of Docker. Needless to say I have been working on trying to get this working for a while but don't want to complicate things with my failed attempts. Any and all suggestions welcomed.

Having problems enabling new modules on local Drupal 7 site

I have created a local version of my Drupal website to do dev work on. But when I add new modules to the local version they do install but they do not enable correctly. For example I added the legal module, enabled it, but when I go to site configuration to edit it, the legal section does not appear. Any help please?
The problem is that not enough memory will be allocated to the service to allow for new modules which require more memory to be ran, try putting
ini_set('memory_limit', '256M');
in the sites/default/settings.php file.
This is a really old thread but thought it was worth adding the following.
I had this problem recently on a local dev install (using Acquia Dev Desktop, by the way). Turning off the Memcache module resolved my issue.
