Use a public address, rather than local, and prevent it from disabling the route, which means you can do apt-get updates
Various tweaks to make Apache the HTTPD, rather than using PHP Artisan Serve

* The user running the httpd is now vagrant rather than www-data, thus
fixing the fact that Vagrant shares the linked directory as the vagrant
user, not www-data
* PrettyURLs are handled in a single block, rather than several lines
* Apache is configured at the end, rather than at the beginning
* Ensure the PHP5 mod is enabled in Apache, as well as the mcrypt
library
