Laravel Homestead - 旧版本的PHP和Laravel

Question

Is it possible to run homestead with an older version of PHP and Laravel 4.1? I need to set up my VM to replicate our production server, as closely as possible.

Answer 1

Homestead is just a prepackaged version of Vagrant with PHP5.6, ngnix, mySQL etc already installed and configurable.

If you need a specific environment that is "different" to Homestead, you just create your own Vagrant environment with a bashscript that installs the versions of software that closely matches your production environment.

This guide here provides specific information for Laravel - but any Vagrant guide will be able to help.
