Vagrant Laravel Homestead - error when running vagrant up - laravel

Question

I have followed the tutorial on https://laravel.com/docs/5.0/homestead and when running the step 'vagrant up', I get the following error message (below)
Any ideas what the problem is? Running latest version of Oracle VirtualBox and the latest version of Vagrant. Regards

Answer 1

The issue you're experiencing with Homestead has been documented in Github. There is a workaround provided, which is as follows:
Solution: Remove type: "nfs" on your folders of Homestead.yaml.
http://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/synced-folders/nfs.html
"Windows users: NFS folders do not work on Windows hosts. Vagrant will
ignore your request for NFS synced folders on Windows.
Original Answer (for the question before it was edited)
Now the issue seems to be with your ssh key, or lackthereof.
No such file or directory # rb_sysopen - C:/Users/Anders/.ssh/id_rsa (Errno::ENOENT)
The section in the guide you linked titled Set Your SSH Key has the following instructions to help you generate one (trimmed to the relevant Windows instructions):
Set Your SSH Key
[...]
On Windows, you may install Git and use the Git Bash shell included with Git to issue the command above. Alternatively, you may use PuTTY and PuTTYgen.
Once you have created a SSH key, specify the key's path in the authorize property of your Homestead.yaml file.
If you are not that comfortable with commandlines, I would recommend using the PuTTYgen method.

Answer 2

This is a problem with your Homestead.yaml file in ~/.homestead directory. I need see the file content to help you more.
After you had fixed the indention style to use only space characters, the another problem happenned because you not generate a pair (public and private) of keys yet. To do that:
mkdir -p ~/.ssh && cd ~/.ssh
ssh-keygen -b 2048 -t rsa -C "you#domain.com"
You can let the default file name (id_rsa), type the password and repeat the same password.

Answer 3

In case anyone else ends up here via Google and didn't read all the comments too well (like I did).
I ran into the same issue of not being able to vagrant up with the following error:
Vagrant was unable to mount VirtualBox shared folders. This is usually
because the filesystem "vboxsf" is not available. This filesystem is
made available via the VirtualBox Guest Additions and kernel module.
Please verify that these guest additions are properly installed in the
guest. This is not a bug in Vagrant and is usually caused by a faulty
Vagrant box. For context, the command attempted was:
mount -t vboxsf -o actimeo=1,nolock,uid=1000,gid=1000 var_www_dev.mybox /var/www/dev.mybox
The error output from the command was:
fmask =<arg> umask of regular files
As Lucas mentioned here Windows users can install the vagrant-winnfsd plugin which allows you to use NFS shared folders in Vagrant and Homestead).
So I solved this error by running vagrant plugin install vagrant-winnfsd followed by a vagrant up.
