I installed Vagrant, Virtualbox, Chef-solo and Knife in my local environment (Ubuntu 14.04). Everything was installed properly. But when I run this command "knife solo cook my.dev", it's returning an error:
could not extract the package.xml file from "/build/buildd/php5-5.5.9+dfsg/pear-build-download/MDB2-2.5.0b5.tgz"
Download of "pear/MDB2" succeeded, but it is not a valid package archive
Error: cannot download "pear/MDB2"
Download failed
install failed
These are the commands i did before that:
vagrant up
vagrant ssh-config --host my.dev >> ~/.ssh/config
knife solo cook my.dev //Error occurs here//
ssh my.dev
If I had to guess (and this is the internet so I do) something is interfering with the download of metadata from PEAR. Try installing by hand and see what the error looks like there.

In my windows 10, after I installed
​vagrant plugin install vagrant-vmware-desktop
then i execute vagrant up I get error:1
>vagrant up
Vagrant encountered an error while attempting to load the utility
service key file. This error can occur if the Vagrant VMware Utility
has not yet been installed, or if it was installed incorrectly. If
this error persists after running the Vagrant VMware Utility installer
again, please contact support at: support#hashicorp.com
Information about the Vagrant VMware Utility, including installation
instruction, can be found here:
https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/vmware/vagrant-vmware-utility.html
Path: C:/ProgramData/hashicorp/vagrant-vmware-desktop/certificates/vagrant-utility.client.crt
Error: No such file or directory # rb_sysopen - C:/ProgramData/hashicorp/vagrant-vmware-desktop/certificates/vagrant-utility.client.crt
It seems the Vagrant Vmware utility is missing, you can run the following command and check if the Vmware utility service is running or not
net start vagrant-vmware-utility
If it is not present, install it from here for windows. you can look for other links for different platforms.
Once installed re-install the utility -
vagrant plugin install vagrant-vmware-desktop
After installation is complete you should have a folder similar to this:
C:\HashiCorp\VagrantVMwareUtility
I am new to spark. Infact, I started learning it from today from edX.I am setting up my environment in windows so that sparkvm could be used.Following are the upto date Installations that I did on my PC.
Installed Virtualbox
Installed Vagrant
created a directory
C:\Users\Macro\myvagrant
and copy VagrantFile from (https://github.com/spark-mooc/mooc-setup/archive/master.zip)
Then I executed the following command from the specified path in dos.
vagrant up but the following message is coming every time.
How would I get out of this mess?
Update:
After downloading the file and executing the suggested code.I got following error.
vagrant is not able to download the box from its cloud.
you can try the following:
if you're behind a proxy, set the proxy :
export http_proxy=http://your.proxyhost.server:port/
export https_proxy=https://your.proxyhost.server:port/
vagrant up
download the box directly and install: download from https://atlas.hashicorp.com/sparkmooc/boxes/base2/versions/0.0.7.1/providers/virtualbox.box directly or you can use a downloader tool (such as wget as below)
wget https://atlas.hashicorp.com/sparkmooc/boxes/base2/versions/0.0.7.1/providers/virtualbox.box
Then you'll need to install the box
vagrant box add sparkmooc/base2 <location of downloaded box file>
vagrant up
not sure why I'm having this issue but I can't add vagrant boxes.
Using windows 10, tried on powershell and simple command prompt. same issue. It's a relatively fresh install of windows. Maybe I'm missing some required package?
first i tried this command:
vagrant box add hashicorp/precise32
and got the error:
The box 'hashicorp/precise32' could not be found or
could not be accessed in the remote catalog. If this is a private
box on HashiCorp's Atlas, please verify you're logged in via
`vagrant login`. Also, please double-check the name. The expanded
URL and error message are shown below:
URL: ["https://atlas.hashicorp.com/hashicorp/precise32"]
Error:
So I downloaded the box manually and tried this:
vagrant box add base64 file:///D:/downloads/vagrant_boxes/precise64.box
And got this error again:
==> box: Box file was not detected as metadata. Adding it directly...
==> box: Adding box 'base64' (v0) for provider:
box: Unpacking necessary files from: file:///D:/downloads/vagrant_boxes/precise64.box

An error occurred while downloading the remote file. The error
message, if any, is reproduced below. Please fix this error and try
again.
The libraries on current version (as of this date) OSX don't support the version of curl bundled with Vagrant 1.8.7. I installed 1.8.6 and everything worked like a champ. To test this theory:
cd /opt/vagrant/embedded/bin
./curl --help
If you get a 'normal' reply than you should be fine or there's something else wrong.
I was using vagrant v1.8.0 when this happened. Later that day vagrant v1.8.1 was released. I didn't try that, instead I shifted back to v1.7.4 and the issue was gone.
I've been resolving this issue since I installed vagrant 1.8.1, I tried to installed lower version but i came up with the same problem. Hopefully, I solve it here:
first make sure you installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable.
here is for 64bit https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13523
next, download ssl version of curl in my case 64bit also. here:
https://curl.haxx.se/latest.cgi?curl=win64-ssl-sspi
now extract the curl.exe to C:\Vagrant\embedded\bin. please see your installation directory.
and then done. if your not using ssl try the no-ssl version of curl. hope helps
Check the C: \ HashiCorp \ Vagrant \ embedded \ bin \ curl.exe
case give an error, there is your problem.
To solve, just download gitbash, console2, cmder, etc ... you have curl installed, or try http://www.confusedbycode.com/curl/.
however strongly recommend gitbash or cmder
https://atlas.hashicorp.com/hashicorp/boxes/precise32
base on the offical URL.. there is only virutal box provider.
try below command:
vagrant init hashicorp/precise32; vagrant up --provider virtualbox
For MacOS users whom reinstalling new version of vagrant doesn't help:
sudo mv /opt/vagrant/embedded/lib/libiconv.2.dylib /opt/vagrant/embedded/lib/libiconv.2.dylib_
brew install libiconv
brew link --force libiconv
credits to: https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/issues/5782
You don`t need to add the box. Init instead of this:
vagrant init hashicorp/precise32
vagrant up
vagrant ssh
Hope it will be added in boxes list automatically.
If you want to set up local box - add it getting few steps:
D:
cd downloads/vagrant_boxes
vagrant box add base64 precise64.box
vagrant up
vagrant ssh
I am using vagrant on Ubuntu 14.04 and the version of it is Vagrant 1.4.3. When I am tiring to up the vagrant, Its giving me following error every time.
Successfully added box 'precise64' with provider 'virtualbox'!
There are errors in the configuration of this machine. Please fix
the following errors and try again:
shell provisioner:
* The following settings shouldn't exist: run
My virtualbox version = 4.3.10_Ubuntur93012
Please help me on this its blocking my every workflow :(
Install the latest version of Vagrant on your Ubuntu machine (assuming 64-bit):
Remove your old version of Vagrant: sudo apt-get remove vagrant
Copy the Debian 64-bit download link from https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html
In your console, type wget, paste in the download link from step 2, and hit enter (should look like wget https://releases.hashicorp.com/vagrant/x.x.x/vagrant_x.x.x_x86_64.deb)
Enter sudo dpkg -i vagrant_x.x.x_x86_64.deb, where x.x.x is the current Vagrant version

I have an Ubuntu workstation and i'm trying to bootstrap a windows node. The windows node has ssh open on port 2222. I've been following http://docs.opscode.com/plugin_knife_windows.html.

To me what that looks like is it's trying to use the word windows as part of the IP; however my syntax matches the guide so i don't know why. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
If you look at the output it's running the generic bootstrap template.
Looking for bootstrap template in /opt/chef/embedded/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/chef-11.4.4/lib/chef/knife/bootstrap
Most likely there is an installation or ruby environment issue resolving the knife-windows gem.
When correctly configured you should see:
Looking for bootstrap template in /opt/chef/embedded/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/knife-windows-0.5.12/lib/chef/knife/bootstrap
The only fix I have found is to use knife from a windows workstation instead of a linux one.
knife bootstrap windows winrm 111.22.33.44.compute-1.amazonaws.com -x Administrator -P "asdklfj329" -N "windows-2008-551"
Enjoy :)
I have faced the similar issue.One of the reasons for this might be you knife-windows gem package is not installed in expected location.
knife-windows resolves target hostname ,if its not properly installed winrm knife cant resolve targetname.So to overcome this install knife-windows as below
To install the knife windows plugin using RubyGems, run the following command:
$ /opt/chef/embedded/bin/gem install knife-windows
if properly installed you should be able to find knife-windows at
/opt/chef/embedded/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/
