no, vagrant file not going change install things in vm.

if want client have same machine you, you'll have avoid installing softwares through vm's shell. should use provisioner, for everything, mysql tables, apache virtual hosts etc..

and don't use vagrant box add ubuntu1 http://goo.gl/kwqsa2, add box's url vagrantfile with:

config.vm.box_url = "http://goo.gl/kwqsa2" 

example puppet provisioning mysql/php server:

    group { 'puppet':     ensure => 'present', }  # # apache configuration # class { 'apache' :     default_mods => false,     default_confd_files => false,     mpm_module => 'prefork',     default_vhost => false,     sendfile => 'off' } class { 'apache::mod::php' : } # mod_php class { 'apache::mod::rewrite' : } # mod_rewrite  # vhost configuration apache::vhost { 'dev.xxx.fr' :     port => '80',     docroot => '/var/sites/myxxx/web',     access_log => true,     access_log_file => 'xxx_access.log',     error_log => true,     error_log_file => 'xxx_error.log',     aliases => [{alias => '/myxxx', path => '/var/sites/toto/web'}],     directories => [{path => '/var/sites/myxxx/web', 'allow_override' => ['fileinfo', 'indexes']}, {path => '/var/sites/toto/web', 'allow_override' => ['fileinfo', 'indexes']}] }  # # mysql configuration # class { '::mysql::server' :     root_password => 'xxx',     databases => {         'xxx' => {             ensure => 'present',             charset => 'utf8'         }     },     users => {         'xxx@localhost' => {             ensure => 'present',             password_hash => 'xxx' # xxxmdp         }     },     grants => {         'xxx@localhost/xxx' => {             ensure => 'present',             options => ['grant'],             privileges => ['select', 'insert', 'update', 'delete', 'create'],             table      => 'xxx.*',             user       => 'xxx@localhost'         }     } }  class { '::mysql::client' : }  package { 'php5-mysql' :     require => [class['apache::mod::php'], class['::mysql::server']],     ensure => 'present' } 

you need following modules:

• apache
• concat
• mysql
• stdlib

the puppet config above example, highly encourage read there documentation done: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/learning/introduction.html

honestly, puppet great tool, take time learn it.

one more thing, avoid using shell provisionner, commands executed everytime run "vagrant provision", puppet executes changes. (i use shell provisionner apt-get update , apt-get upgrade)
