Here is cmd error, I can't understand where is error and I'm bumping on it again and again, can`t solve it.

I experienced the same issue and solved it by changing VirtualBox's base VM folder:
Open VirtualBox
Go to File -> Preferences
In the General tab, change the Default Machine Folder path to an existing path.
Run vagrant up again
In my case VirtualBox's Default Machine Folder was still pointing to my external hard drive which was no longer connected. Manually importing the Vagrant downloaded .ovf file in VBox via File -> Import Virtual Appliance lead me to the above solution. Vagrant does the same thing under the hood.
I got the same issue and stumbled for several hours. Finally, it worked from the following steps.
My C drive didn't have enough memory for the Vagrant to bring up the Virtual box. Cleared the memory for Vagrant. It all worked well without any issues.
free enough space in your drive C :
make sure it's C:\\HashiCorp\\boxes\\hashicorp-VAGRANTSLASH-bionic64\\1.0.282 up to date
I had the same issue. I had follow the instructions to change the default machine folder to the same path as the one set for environment variable for VAGRANT_HOME
Open VirtualBox
Go to File -> Preferences
In the General tab, change the Default Machine Folder path to an existing path.
Run vagrant up again
you can check PATH below,if has blank or special character, change it.
Vagrant install PATH
VirtualBox install PATH
$VAGRANT_HOME PATH
VirtualBox default Virtual Machine location PATH
Also, free enough space $VAGRANT_HOME and VirtualBox default Virtual Machine location
"vagrant init: ...a Vagrant environment by creating an initial
Vagrantfile..."
I moved that folder from E:/ to C:/ in windows, and I'm having this silly error when trying to do a vagrant snapshot restore XXX
==> default: Booting VM...
There was an error while executing `VBoxManage`, a CLI used by Vagrant
for controlling VirtualBox. The command and stderr is shown below.
Command: ["startvm", "7aff8d5d-7193-4f6d-966b-4076543c0e90", "--type", "headless"]
Stderr: VBoxManage.exe: error: RawFile#0 failed to create the raw output file E:/Proyectos/do-sf2-dev/ubuntu-xenial-16.04-cloudimg-console.log (VERR_PATH_NOT_FOUND)
VBoxManage.exe: error: Details: code E_FAIL (0x80004005), component ConsoleWrap, interface IConsole
From I understand, VirtualBox keeps referencing the E:/ drive.
I tried manually editing any references from E:/ to C:/ I can find under that folder, and also in the VirtualBox GUI for the concerning machine but no luck.
This answer is late but will hopefully help the next person to encounter this issue. The error is because the machine is configured to output to a location that doesn't exist anymore. When moving a Vagrant environment to another drive you'll need to update some Vagrant metadata in addition to moving the VM files. You can use vagrant up --debug to see exactly what the error is referring to.
If you move the .vagrant.d directory you'll need to set the environment variable VAGRANT_HOME to its new location. On windows you need to restart for this to take effect. If that doesn't work add one of the following to your vagrantfile:
v.customize [ "modifyvm", :id, "--uartmode1", "disconnected" ]
This disables serial output to the missing log file (ubuntu-xenial-16.04-cloudimg-console.log)
or
v.customize [ "modifyvm", :id, "--uartmode1", "file", File.join(Dir.pwd, "ubuntu-xenial-16.04-cloudimg-console.log") ]
This updates the path of the log file to point to the current directory.
For most vagrant setups this should be enough , however, I also needed to re-create the path to the erring log file before vagrant up would work successfully. After that I ran vagrant provision and was able to delete the old file path without issues.

I've been having a problem with Vagrant (1.8.1, using VirtualBox 5.0.20) on Windows 10.
When I follow the getting started tutorial https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/getting-started/ after I have typed vagrant up, my console is stuck on:
==> default: Waiting for machine to boot. This may take a few minutes...
default: SSH address: 127.0.0.1:2200
default: SSH username: vagrant
default: SSH auth method: private key
It does not continue, i can see the VM boot inside of VirtualBox, and i can use the VirtualBox GUI to log in with the default credentials, so the VM itself is working.
According to https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/virtualbox/common-issues.html
I should run VirtualBox as admin and do vagrant up from a cmd.exe with admin rights, but when i do that i get the message:
There was an error while executing `VBoxManage`, a CLI used by Vagrant
for controlling VirtualBox. The command and stderr is shown below.
Command: ["modifyvm", "1b9d4f9b-04d8-48bf-8d16-d3aed99d341b", "--natpf1", "delete", "ssh"]

VBoxManage.exe: error: Context: "LockMachine(a->session, LockType_Write)" at line 493 of file VBoxManageModifyVM.cpp
This seems different from the 100's of posts all around the net like these:
https://github.com/Varying-Vagrant-Vagrants/VVV/issues/375
since I am not getting antying after the output listed above, it just sits there and after alike 10 minutes it comes up with the message:
Timed out while waiting for the machine to boot. This means that
Vagrant was unable to communicate with the guest machine within
the configured ("config.vm.boot_timeout" value) time period.
If you look above, you should be able to see the error(s) that
Vagrant had when attempting to connect to the machine. These errors
are usually good hints as to what may be wrong.
If you're using a custom box, make sure that networking is properly
working and you're able to connect to the machine. It is a common
problem that networking isn't setup properly in these boxes.
Verify that authentication configurations are also setup properly,
as well.
If the box appears to be booting properly, you may want to increase
the timeout ("config.vm.boot_timeout") value.
I've also read Vagrant stuck in "Waiting for VM to Boot" but it did not help me.
Is there anything else I am missing here?
In my case, vagrant up was hanging on 'Syncing VM folder' , on Windows 7 with Vagrant 1.9.3 and VBox 5.1.18 . It turned out that it requires Powershell >= 3.0.
I downloaded it from https://www.google.ca/search?q=powershell+3.0+download&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b&gfe_rd=cr&ei=x0fdWLfsBubQXu2OorAD, and worked fine afterwards.
try to turn off the VM from VirtualBox or from command line
C:\Progra~1\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe controlvm default poweroff
then restart the VM from vagrant.
In case you get an error when powering off the VM, force the shutdown
C:\Progra~1\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe startvm default --type emergencystop
Then vagrant up will should work nicely
I actually already found my problem. It was a .dll from some addware scanner that was preventing the virtualbox VM from starting. I lost the link to the forum topic which helped me solve this unfortunately.
What i did was open the logs from the VM in VirtualBox and had a read trough. At some point, a line indicating an error appeared with a .dll name which was the culprit. I deleted the offending .dll files from my pc and it was fixed.
If i find the link again to the topic explaining exactly what dll it was i will post it here. Im not at the machine that i fixed the problem on now so i can't access my search history.
Hope it will work for you as it worked for me
I'm still investigating why, but as a solution it works.
our case - when typed in cmd (inside vagrand image directory) "vagrant up"
it open virtual box vm and stuck on "default: SSH auth method:
private key" as mentioned in question
so fix by this steps:
open manually virtual box (besides what already opened by vagrant up)
run the vm that had added to the list (by vagrant up)
open CMD
type "Vagrant ssh"
and it will work
hope it helped,
best regards
Since homestead 2.0 homestead laravel has not been working
I don't know why 'homestead init' creates a Homestead.yaml file in mydirectory/.homestead
and not in the project directory. Homestead up OR Vagrant up create the following message
A VirtualBox machine with the name 'homestead' already exists.
Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider...
==> default: Importing base box 'laravel/homestead'...
==> default: Matching MAC address for NAT networking...
==> default: Checking if box 'laravel/homestead' is up to date...
A VirtualBox machine with the name 'homestead' already exists.
Please use another name or delete the machine with the existing
name, and try again.
I solved by using vboxmanage to get the ID of the VM.
$ vboxmanage list vms
"my-vm" {c700b8b6-b766-4638-871b-736b44b7db18}
Copy the ID of the desired VM (the c700…db18 string) into the contents of ~/.vagrant/machines/default/virtualbox/id. Save the file then run vagrant up to get the vm working without having to destroy it.
For me, the machine was not showing up as an active VM in the VirtualBox application. To fix I had to do this:
vagrant global-status
This gave me the ID of the machine that I needed to destroy. With the ID, run:
vagrant destroy {VM ID}
I had to run that in sudo to actually destroy the machine. At that point, I was able to run
vagrant up
From the following message :
A VirtualBox machine with the name 'vm_name' already exists.
Please use another name or delete the machine with the existing
name, and try again.
I listed current running virtual machines from the command line :
VBoxManage list vms
Result :
"vm_name" {8ba467b7-da96-4f68-9bf8-671dd6f0d007}
Then proceeded with the removal of the offending virtual machine :
VBoxManage unregistervm 8ba467b7-da96-4f68-9bf8-671dd6f0d007 --delete
You probably have a virtualbox running! Open the programme virtualbox and shut down the other virtualbox ;)
http://smallbusiness.chron.com/shut-down-virtualbox-43657.html
If this isn't working then you might want to delete the old homestead folder and place all your projects in the new folder ;)
I'm a bit late to the party on this, but for anyone else having this issue SergioPeluzzi came closest, but didn't get the cigar with this:
Seek for vb.name = settings["name"] = "homestead" line and changed "homestead" to "HOMESTEAD" and "vói lá"
The line is actually:
vb.name = settings["name"] ||= "homestead"
As you can see from the bit that says settings["name"], you just need to add a name field to your Homestead YAML file, e.g.
memory: 2048
cpus: 1
provider: virtualbox
name: my-sexy-homestead-box
I edited Homestead.yaml and add new name for it
ip: "192.168.10.10"
memory: 2048
cpus: 4
provider: virtualbox
name: my-new-homestead-box-name
I solved this editing /Homestead_folder/scripts/homestead.rb
Seek for vb.name = settings["name"] = "homestead" line and changed homestead to HOMESTEAD and "vói lá" that worked for me.
I had an old .vagrant directory in my project which was causing the error :)
If this doesn't fix it for you i would suggest opening VirtualBox and removing all VirtualBoxes and trying again.
You just have to add the key name to your homestead.yaml file right after the provider like this:
name: name_of_you_machine
That works for me.
I had same issue today. Spend few hours to find the solution.
If by any reason you can't find the list of exiting virtual machines then type in terminal
sudo virtualbox
This will run Virtual Box in GUI. You should see the the full list of VMs and from there you'd be able to manage them.
Typing "virtualbox" only won't show anything. You need to be root (administrator).
Thanks to mightyspaj for the tip.
Commands to execute:
vagrant box list
vagrant box remove laravel/homestead
vagrant global-status
vagrant destroy nameOfYourBox
Open your VirtualBox and delete all itens of your homestead
vagrant up
I opened the virtualBox and then deleted homestead vm that was created earlier. It helped.
I was receiving the same error message, even after running "homestead destory", and "vagrant destroy". Same as you, I was using the VirtualBox provider, vagrant, and homestead. Here's what I did:
Opened VirtualBox GUI. I see "homestead" as a VM, but I cannot remove it, button is greyed out.
I logged out of my OS, logged back in and re-opened VirtualBox. Status is now "aborted" and i'm able to remove.
There were some residual files in ~/VirtualBox\ VMs/homestead, so i ran rm -r /Users/gabriel/VirtualBox\ VMs/homestead
I am now able to run "homestead up"
Open VirtualBox GUI. See for your VM and remove it.
It solved my problem.
Sometimes you might not want to delete old box. Yesterday may old Vagrant has broken, I've updated Vagrant and Virtualbox but folders mapping didn't work. I wanted to run new box and had this error.
I didn't want to remove old box (because I wanted to run some backups) but I wanted to run new box. The solution was running VirtualBox, right click on Homestead machine and choose Settings and then changing name from homestead to homestead_old.
After that I was able to install homestead but had this old machine and could also run this to make any backups I needed.
If you are a Windows User, make sure you delete C:\Users\<Username>\VirtualBox VMs\homesteadfolder. Because if there is still a folder named homestead, the action of vagrant up will not be completed
If you want to keep keep your machine, without destroying and recreating following steps should solve your problem.
(I work on OS X El Captain, Vagrant 1.8.1)
Run homestead in debug mode
homestead --debug up
Look for something like in the output:
INFO machine: Initializing machine: default INFO machine: -
Provider: VagrantPlugins::ProviderVirtualBox::Provider INFO machine:
- Box: # INFO machine: - Data dir: /Users/YOUR_HOME_DIR/Workspace/Homestead/.vagrant/machines/default/virtualbox
Data dir, is the path which is interesting for you.
Then vboxmanage list vms
"homestead" {0e8438b9-4a67-4fb1-80cb-2c62cf04ab5c}
"settler_default_1447385930122_73498_1474294682778_13108"
{93ecb93f-f159-4406-a384-5312b4d3ab34}
Edit id file, in the path which you found out in the previous command
vi /Users/YOUR_HOME_DIR/Workspace/Homestead/.vagrant/machines/default/virtualbox/id
Replace content of that file, with the id of the VM you want to fix, in this scenario it is
0e8438b9-4a67-4fb1-80cb-2c62cf04ab5c
Now try
homestead up
VM should start booting. It might work, or you might have issues with ssh authentication
default: SSH address: 127.0.0.1:2222
default: SSH username: vagrant
default: SSH auth method: private key
default: Warning: Authentication failure. Retrying... default: Warning: Authentication failure. Retrying...
To fix that do following
Check Homestead SSH config
homestead ssh-config
You should get something like
Host default HostName 127.0.0.1 User vagrant Port 2222
UserKnownHostsFile /dev/null StrictHostKeyChecking no
PasswordAuthentication no
IdentityFile
"/Users/pryznar/.vagrant.d/insecure_private_key"
IdentitiesOnly yes
LogLevel FATAL
Edit IdentityFile file
/Users/YOUR_HOME_DIR/.vagrant.d/insecure_private_key
Check Homestead.yml
cat /Users/YOUR_HOME_DIR/.homestead/Homestead.yaml
Then copy path to the file under the key keys, and copy private key from that file
cat ~/.homestead/ssh/id_rsa
Last step is to replace private key in /Users/YOUR_HOME_DIR/.vagrant.d/insecure_private_key with the one you just copied
Now try rung homestead again, should work.
homestead up
I got some warnings, but so far it works without issues
==> default: Warning: Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure.
==> default: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'homestead'#'localhost' (using password: YES) The SSH command
responded with a non-zero exit status. Vagrant assumes that this means
the command failed. The output for this command should be in the log
above. Please read the output to determine what went wrong.
You can open the VirtualBox GUI and remove the conflicting virtual machine.
None of this worked for me. I was using an old dev machine
I attempted:
vagrant global-status > destroy any by id which you don't need or match what is conflicting
open virtualbox and remove + delete files for any which you don't need or are conflicting
What worked:
locate your ~/.vagrant/machines/ or ~/.vagrant.d/boxes folder. In my case, it contained the conflicting vm and also a bunch of old left over vm machines which steps 1 & 2 did not remove for some reason.
after clearing these, everything worked fine again, finally!
Windows10
Edit Homestead.yaml file and give a new name for the box:
ip: "192.168.10.10"
memory: 2048
cpus: 2
provider: virtualbox
name: my-new-vbox #new name for the box
and run vagrant up or vagrant up --provision
Or
Open Virtualbx application in GUI and delete all the virtualbox that was causing problem and run the above command
Or
Delete the "Vagrant" file inside homestead folder and run the above command.
I had the following error:
Error:
A VirtualBox machine with the name 'homestead-7' already exists.
Please use another name or delete the machine with the existing
name, and try again.
Solution:
Find the VirtualBox VMS folder, in my case it was in ~/VirtualBox VMs
List the elements in the folder with ls command, and review if the virtual machine is there
Delete the folder with the name of the machine, in my case homestead-7
Re-execute the vagrant up command in the homestead folder
That's all, I hope it's helpful, that was my solution.
Regards!
In my case the following article provide the solution. There was a folder named homestead inside the path /var/root/VirtualBox VMs/ that was causing the issue. Once this folder was removed, rm -r homestead, the issue was resolved. If you can not see or have access to this path execute the following commands in your terminal windows:
$ sudo -s
$ cd /var/root/VirtualBox\ VMs
And proceed to delete the homestead folder.
Add --force after box, and before your given name.
Renaming an already existing default VM
Disclaimer
The following procedure will destroy your VM and may be only suiteable in a desting-environment like mine! For production environments, consider to repair the association like described here
I had this problem after overriding the default name of an already existing VM by using
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
config.vm.define :ubuntu_test
where the VirtualBox name was also set (as a newbie I assumed that Vagrand will use this name too)
config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
vb.name = "Ubuntu-Test"
end
By adding config.vm.define it seems that Vagrant doesn't associate the VirtualBox VM any more with the Vagrant file since even vagrant destroy -f say VM not created but vagrant up throw this error
A VirtualBox machine with the name 'Ubuntu-Test' already exists.
To delete those zombie VM
If the VM is running, stop it first: vboxmanage shutdown <VMName> (Here the name is Ubuntu-Test)
Get the Id by running vboxmanage list vms
Delete it: vboxmanage unregistervm <Id> --delete
Now your VM can be re-created using vagrant up
Using vagrant global-status --prune, your new name is present
For me id file was present in the below-mentioned location.
D:\drupalvm.vagrant\machines\drupalvm\virtualbox
After a few hours of troubleshooting, nothing else worked for me, as no one mentioned this little detail.
Depending on your privileges at the time of installation, you may need to run virtualbox as an administrator. It was only when I did this that I saw my vagrant boxes in the list of virtual machines.
I then proceeded to remove my virtual machine named homestead from virtualbox, and the problem was solved.
If you're using homestead in Windows, just open up your Oracle VM VirtualBox and delete the homestead VM.
The Vagrant relies on VirtualBox (if that's the default provider) so it checks for existing environment first before provisioning your VM.
It is executing the following command:
VBoxManage list vms
and when it finds the VM with the same hostname, so it'll fail.
You can debug it by:
vagrant --debug up
to find out the exact reason.
Solution
If you're planning to use multiple VMs in different folders, then you need to change your config.vm.hostname (possibly config.vm.provider(name) as well) in your Vagrantfile to make it unique. Or simply remove it, so Vagrant will assign a different name for each VM.
If that's not the case, simply shutdown and unregister previous VM which conflicts by running:
VBoxManage controlvm NAMEOFVM poweroff
VBoxManage unregistervm NAMEOFVM --delete
and re-run your vagrant up.
If it fails on directory rename (because you missed --delete), then rename or remove the destination folder, for example:
rm -fr ~/"VirtualBox VMs/NAMEOFVM"
and re-try again.
This problem may be related to: GitHub issue #2969 - vagrant up not detecting a previously run VM
In my case, nothing was indicating that the VM "already exists" besides that error message. Nothing on VirtualBox UI, nothing returned by “vboxmanage list vms”, nothing through “vagrant global-status”, it didn’t exist in “.vagrant.d\boxes” and so on. I resolved it by manually creating a new same-name VM in the VM VirtualBox Manager (using the “new” button + accepting all the defaults), and then removing it (right-click > remove). After that, the “vagrant up” worked as expected.
I had the same issue today. Windows 10. I recently had updated Homestead, so the error was probably because of that. I tried it all, destroy, up, delete folders, whatever. Whenever I tried to run vagrant up, it was showing this kind of errors. The solution? After updating, I noticed that Homestead is now naming the boxes by the project folder name, and Homestead.yaml has all that infos. I just run that Homestead Windows configuration vendor\\bin\\homestead make and later them a vagrant up (before making sure it was all clean) and voilá, looks like the machine is booting now. =) Try that if you need it.
