We need something like this for vagrant.

Be sure to checkout Vagrant Hostmaster, which will automatically add your VM's host name and aliases to your /etc/hosts!

You should open source it :) I'd love to modify it to work with PHP by default.

Your "Install Pow" doesn't work with a drive name which has spaces. eg. /bin/sh /Volumes/Macintosh HD/Downloads/Anvil.app/Contents/Resources/InstallPow.sh; exit needs to escape the space. App itself looks polished, checking it out now!

Wow, that is the sort of bug that leads to installers accidentally wiping hard drives.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The on/off slider turns Pow on and off. We love powder too!

Why does the on/off functionality look like a slider when it functions like a button?

Because iOS brain damaged the industry.

Note that .dev is one of the new TLD's being handed out[1]. I also used .dev as my local environment and switched them all over to .local a while ago.

.local[2] was specifically set aside just for this task, and is recognized as a local address by the major browsers (instead of .dev, which often results in a search hit).

[2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.local

Edit: just noticed that the .dev hostnames come from Pow, the underlying server. probably not a good idea.

How so? I'm honestly curious.

Pow is open-source (pow.cx) - feel free to try adding PHP to it. In my experience, PHP is far more complicated due to php.ini configurations and installation. Rack lends itself a bit better to this kind of hosting.

Any reason why the Pow installer turns off my Wi-Fi? Also I get the following error from the installer: "!!! Couldn't resolve configured domains (dev)"

Novel idea. Too bad it doesn't work :/
