Error while running Vagrant up - vagrant

Question

Initially, I had 8 vagrant machines running and something went wrong. So I deleted the vms in ~/VirtualBox\ VMs folder and placed the backup .vmdk files in the same location.
Then I tried running vagrant up...
But I'm getting the following error
Bringing machine 'virtual-am1' up with 'virtualbox' provider...
==> virtual-am1: Importing base box 'centos653'...
==> virtual-am1: Matching MAC address for NAT networking...
==> virtual-am1: Setting the name of the VM: vagrant_virtual-am1_1478100170176_83326
==> virtual-am1: Clearing any previously set network interfaces...
==> virtual-am1: Preparing network interfaces based on configuration...
virtual-am1: Adapter 1: nat
virtual-am1: Adapter 2: bridged
==> virtual-am1: Forwarding ports...
virtual-am1: 22 (guest) => 2203 (host) (adapter 1)
==> virtual-am1: Running 'pre-boot' VM customizations...
A customization command failed:
["modifyvm", :id, "--name", "virtual-am1"]
The following error was experienced:
#<Vagrant::Errors::VBoxManageError: There was an error while executing `VBoxManage`, a CLI used by Vagrant
for controlling VirtualBox. The command and stderr is shown below.

This is how my Vagrantfile looks like...
We had a custom Vagrant file
# -*- mode: ruby -*-
# vi: set ft=ruby :
#Parse nodes config file
nodes_config = (JSON.parse(File.read("nodes.json")))['nodes']
# Vagrantfile API/syntax version. Don't touch unless you know what you're doing!
VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION = "2"
Vagrant.configure(VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION) do |config|
config.ssh.insert_key = false
config.vm.box = "centos653"
config.vm.box_url = "https://github.com/2creatives/vagrant-centos/releases/download/v6.5.3/centos65-x86_64-20140116.box"
# config.vm.provision :shell, path: "bootstrap.sh"
nodes_config.each do |node|
node_name = node[0] # name of node
node_values = node[1] # content of node
config.vm.define node_name do |config|
# configures all forwarding ports in JSON array
ports = node_values['ports']
ports.each do |port|
config.vm.network :forwarded_port,
host: port[':host'],
guest: port[':guest'],
id: port[':id']
end
config.vm.synced_folder "/bits", "/vagrant/bits"
config.vm.synced_folder "../virtual", "/vagrant/virtual"
config.vm.hostname = node_values[':hostname']
#config.vm.network :private_network, ip: node_values[':ip']
config.vm.network "public_network", bridge: 'enp134s1f0', ip: node_values[':ip']
config.vm.provider :virtualbox do |vb|
vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--memory", node_values[':memory']]
vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--name", node_values[':node']]
vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--cpus", 8]
end
end
end
end
This is how my nodes.json file looks like
{
"nodes": {
"virtual-am1": {
":node": "virtual-am1",
":ip": "192.168.1.50",
":hostname": "am1.onefederation.org",
"ports": [
{
":host": 2203,
":guest": 22,
":id": "ssh"
}
],
":memory": 1024
},
}
}
Please help!!!

I've had this error and you can use this fix:
Delete folder project in vagrant
rm -rf /home/protobox/VirtualBox VMs/project_folder
Go to project folder:
cd /var/www/project_folder
Then restart vagrant:
vagrant destroy**maybe more**`vagrant destroy -f`
vagrant reload
Finally you start vagrant
vagrant up
vagrant ssh
Or you can refer to here: http://getprotobox.com/docs/issues/vbox_rename
Good luck!
