I'm attempting to copy over my local vimrc configuration to a new linux server I've just set up:
scp -rp .vim/ nagios:~
scp .vimrc nagios:~
Then, with ls -hoal on the remote machine in my ~ directory:
drwxr-xr-x 4 <me> 51 Jun 29 13:34 .vim
-rw-r--r-- 1 <me> 431 Jul 7 10:59 .vimrc
When I start vim with vi (as this is a centos server without a symlink for vim) my vimrc doesn't load.
I found this StackOverflow question which suggested a few things, none of which worked. For example:
In the accepted answer I can see that it finds and reads my vimrc file, for reference this is my vimrc:
execute pathogen#infect()
set shiftwidth=2
set softtabstop=2
set tabstop=2
autocmd Filetype yml setlocal ts=2 sw=2 expandtab autoindent
syntax on
filetype plugin indent on
set autoindent
set statusline+=%#warningmsg#
set statusline+=%{SyntasticStatuslineFlag()}
set statusline+=%*
let g:syntastic_always_populate_loc_list = 1
let g:syntastic_auto_loc_list = 1
let g:syntastic_check_on_open = 1
let g:syntastic_check_on_wq = 0
And here's what I find in the vim strace file:
fchdir(3) = 0
chdir("<my home>) = 0
getcwd("<my home>", 4096) = 24
fchdir(3) = 0
close(3) = 0
stat("<my home>/.vimrc", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=431, ...}) = 0
open("<my home>/.vimrc", O_RDONLY) = 3
fcntl(3, F_GETFD) = 0
fcntl(3, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0
fcntl(3, F_GETFL) = 0x8000 (flags O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE)
fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=431, ...}) = 0
mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x7fadbac2e000
read(3, "execute pathogen#infect()\n\nset s"..., 4096) = 431
read(3, "", 4096) = 0
read(3, "", 4096) = 0
close(3) = 0
So it looks like it finds it, reads a couple lines, and then dies.
However, the answer with the most votes in that question suggests a couple other things to check it out. When I run :scriptnames on my local (working) vim installation I see:
1: /usr/share/vim/vimrc
2: /usr/share/vim/vim74/debian.vim
3: /usr/share/vim/vim74/syntax/syntax.vim
4: /usr/share/vim/vim74/syntax/synload.vim
5: /usr/share/vim/vim74/syntax/syncolor.vim
6: /usr/share/vim/vim74/filetype.vim
7: ~/.vimrc
8: ~/.vim/autoload/pathogen.vim
And then some other stuff after that that's loading all of my other plugins as well as some stuff in /usr/share/vim.
Running :echo $HOME and/or :echo $MYVIMRC work as expected as well.
However when I try this on the remote machine I get no output for any of the three commands above.
My local machine is Xubuntu 14.04 with this output for vi --version:
vi --version

On the remote machine, I'm running centos with exact version centos-release-7-2.1511.el7.centos.2.10.x86_64 and vim version:
vi --version

... compilation options ...
So the question boils down to: How do I get vim to read my .vimrc properly?
Edit:
Installing vim-enhanced via yum and then using vim (as opposed to vi) has "solved" the issue, but I'd still like to know if it's possible to get it to work with out-of-the-box vi, as installing vim-enhanced isn't always an option. For reference here's the full output of the various version info:
