I have been trying to set up Vagrant with my project in PyCharm, but I've run into a problem. In Preferences > Vagrant I have set the path to the Vagrant executable (obtained via which vagrant), and I have set the instance folder to the project root. There is one Vagrant Box in the list on that same page (precise32 (virtualbox))
A Vagrantfile exists in my project, but when I go to Tools > Vagrant > Up, a file dialog appears, and regardless of what I select next (e.g. Vagrantfile, vagrant executable), nothing happens (i.e. the Run window doesn't open).
I've been looking at different pages in the Pycharm documentation but it has brought me no closer to an answer.
How can I get vagrant up working in Pycharm?
Note: I am using PyCharm 2.7 on Mac 10.7.5, if that helps
I had the same problem.
Go to Preferences --> Tools --> Vagrant and set your Vagrant executable to something like: /usr/local/bin/vagrant. In my case it looked like that somehow this settings was changed to vagrant. After I set the absolute path all worked fine again.

I have already found "SSH to Vagrant box in Windows" and added the git bin directory to my windows PATH. I verified that it worked by starting CMD and typing ssh, and got a usage message. (Before adding the git bin directory to my path, CMD complained that ssh wasn't a valid command.)
However...when I run vagrant ssh from MobaXterm, I get the same error I did before. (A page full of ruby errors that aren't helpful to me.) When I run it as VAGRANT_LOG=debug vagrant ssh, I see:
INFO subprocess: Starting process: ["C:\\Users\\(myname)\\DOCUME~1\\MOBAXT~1\\slash\\bin/ssh.EXE"]
This is the wrong ssh executable; it's the one installed in MobaXterm and it doesn't work if run from a CMD window.
How can I get vagrant ssh to work as it should?
Part of the trick is that I don't want to use the Windows PATH for arbitrary commands—not even for ssh, really. I want to use the versions in MobaXterm for everything. All I want is to be able to run vagrant ssh the same way I would on Linux or Mac.
The workaround I have been using, which I found somewhere online (but can't find the page again), is:
vagrant ssh-config > vagrant-ssh
ssh -F vagrant-ssh default # Works exactly the way `vagrant ssh` should
"default" is the box name for a typical Vagrant environment with only a single vagrant box. If there is more than one box, replace "default" with the box name:
ssh -F vagrant-ssh host001 # Works the way `vagrant ssh host001` would on another system
This is a good workaround with minimal changes required to workflow. But I'd still like a way to get vagrant ssh working without needing the extra file in my vagrant directory.
here you can find an explanation
In the documentation, this mention is in the "Terminal tab settings"
section, so you will find this option in the "Terminal" tab.
Go to MobaXterm global settings window, then click on the "Terminal"
tab and check the "Use Windows PATH environment". Note that if you are
using a session, you will have to do the same in this session: edit
your session, then go to the "Terminal settings" tab and check the
"Use Windows PATH" option.
Call me crazy but what about doing this:
Setup Vagrant Virtualbox VM like normal
In MobaXterm, create a "Bash" shell integration with the working directory setup as the directory of the Vagrant directory for the specific VM you are doing this for (aka ... the directory where the Vagrantfile lives for this VM)
In the "Advance Shell Settings", use this command (adjust vagrant path to where ever your Vagrant is installed as MobaXterm bash sees it):
command /drives/c/HashiCorp/Vagrant/bin/vagrant ssh-config >
vagrant-ssh-config && ssh -A -F vagrant-ssh-config default
Vagrant VM needs to be up for MobaXterm Bash entry for the VM to work. I just setup two Bash shell settings for two Vagrant Virtualbox VMs I created and it seems to work just fine.
Updated: I went a little further since I've figured this out .. at least for me I did :). I added additional CMD shell sessions MobaXterm for each of my Vagrant VM. These additional CMD shell sessions do Vagrant halt, up, and restart (combo of halt and up) commands against the VMs they are specific to. This is what restart looks like:
vagrant halt
vagrant up
set /p value="Press Enter to continue"
exit
The Startup Directory for the above session is, again, the directory where the Vagrantfile lives for this VM. Oh, and make sure that "Use Windows PATH" is checked in Terminal Settings.
you can install git (https://git-scm.com/downloads) during install git choose "use git and optional Unix tools from the windows command prompt"
Download msysgit from msysgit project page and include msysgit/bin folder to PATH, now you can run ssh and vagrant ssh form your terminal on windows.
I have just set up a new Linux box and trying to install vagrant on it. The issue is that when I am running vagrant up command, I am getting the following error:
Vagrant failed to initialize at a very early stage:
The directory Vagrant will use to store local environment-specific
state is not accessible. The directory specified as the local data
directory must be both readable and writable for the user that is
running Vagrant.
Any idea how to fix this?
I think a better way is to provide your user the required permission to the directory by making the user the owner - where you want the vagrant to be booted:
$ sudo chown -R <user> <directory>
and then you will be easily able to do:
$ vagrant up
Using sudo for vagrant up is unusual as why do you want to run your virtual machine as a root user.
I met the same problem and I solved it by run the terminal with"run as administrator". It's quite easy.
Hope this can help you.
I encountered the same issue four years later and could not fix it using chmod or even #Ziya's comment under the initial question (which brought me closer to the resolution though).
In my case, I use Vagrant 2.2.6 on Windows 10, and use Cygwin as a command line interface.
For the error to disappear, I had to :
open Windows Explorer
right-click .vagrant folder in the location where I typed vagrant up
access the "Properties" menu
then, in the "Security" tab, update the authorizations for my user, granting total control

Hope this can help someone else.
Please follow these steps:
1) install vagrant 1.7.1
2) install virtual box 4.1, 4.2, or 4.3
3) use the administrator name in the custom directory (e.g., for windows users c:\users\AdminName\myvagrant or for Mac/Linux users /home/Admin/myvagrant)
For instance: c:\users\safwan\myvagrant where safwan is the user with administrator rights/privileges.
Copy the file name Vagrantfile in the myvagrant forlder.
4) Now open DOS window as shown in the picture and follow the steps in the DOS window changing the admin name
Virtual Box 4.3.14
Vagrant 1.6.3
and when I vagrant up I get this error
default: warning: connection refused. Retying...
it goes on and on until it gives up and says
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 am on windows 7, I even tried running cmd on administrator mode same thing
I even tried vagrant reload as I read on on other web resources, still same thing, it outputs the same thing
I did not tweak my virtualbox after install, basically just install virtualbox and install vagrant then run vagrant up
and oh by the way my vagrantfile and provisioning script is from here

Been googling and unfurtunately I can't find clear answer
Tnx in advance
It seems its a virtual box / vagrant version incompatibility issue
I uninstalled Virtual Box 4.3.14 and installed Virtual Box 4.3.12 and it worked. Basically I downgraded virtual box.
I hope this gets fixed soon.
Hope this helps anyone.
Open your vagrantfile using notepad and edit it so that it looks like this:
Please tally your vagrantfile with this one word by word. Then open BIOS and turn on virtualisation. Watch this video to learn how to do it. It is a very short video.
PS: You may need to uninstall vagrant before doing this. And in your Users folder in C:, there will be a folder named .vagrant.d, please delete that as well before following these steps.
Uninstalling vagrant will require that you run your machine as administrator. You can right click on Command Prompt (search cmd in windows search box) and click run as administrator. Type the following command: net user administrator /active:yes
You will get a message called command completed successfully. Now you can log off and see that there are two accounts, one of them is admin. You can log in from that and uninstall vagrant.
I am on Windows 8.1
When i attempt to install vagrant and run it with virtual box i always get the following error.
"The provider 'virtualbox' that was requested to back the machine
'default' is reporting that it isn't usable on this system. The
reason is shown below:
Vagrant could not detect VirtualBox! Make sure VirtualBox is properly installed.
Vagrant uses the VBoxManage binary that ships with VirtualBox, and requires
this to be available on the PATH. If VirtualBox is installed, please find the
VBoxManage binary and add it to the PATH environmental variable."
I have tried different things such as uninstalling both virtual box and vagrant and re-installing them.
I have tried installing vagrant first then vbox and the other way around also but no change.
I am new to vagrant so if anyone can assist please.
I bet that you're using the latest VirtualBox version (4.3.12). If so, there's a known issue which will be addressed in Vagrant 1.6.3:
https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/issues/3852
As a workaround you can install VirtualBox 4.3.10 and it will work flawlessly.
As Emyl said, you can either downgrade your VirtualBox or upgrade your Vagrant to 1.6.3(as the issue has been fixed in this version).
But if you want to have a quick fix on this issue you can simply change the environmental variable name for the Virtual Box installation path from VBOX_MSI_INSTALL_PATH to VBOX_INSTALL_PATH
(This PC -> Advanced System Settings -> Environmental Variables -> Search for VBOX_MSI_INSTALL_PATH and change it to VBOX_INSTALL_PATH)
Make sure to restart your terminal before doing vagrant up again.
You are done!
changing VBOX_MSI_INSTALL_PATH and change it to VBOX_INSTALL_PATH in environment variables and then restarting terminal resolved my issue :)
I also had this problem on Windows 8.1 and solved it by restarting my computer. If you have just installed VirtualBox, you may need to restart your command prompt or Windows for the environment variables to get read correctly when you run "vagrant up".
i had to run the cmd.exe as administrator to make this work after using Sri Harsha Kappala solution
I am just starting with Vagrant and I am having a little trouble understanding a few details. I have read through the docs but still am missing a basic concept. When I want to start a Vagrant box I run:
vagrant up
This will "build the VM based on the box" I understand that the boxes are stored at ~/.vagrant.d and in fact I have packaged up my own box from a base Ubuntu box. However, when I run vagrant up and start to add files to the vm, where is the virtual hard drive for the vm stored? For example, when I run apt-get install apache2 and the root system is modified, where is this modified?
When I do a du on my current directory I do not see any changes. I also do not see any changes in the ~/.vagrant.d directory. However, I can do vagrant halt, restart my local machine and then run vagrant up again and the changes are persisted somewhere.
vagrant up also reports
[default] VM already created. Booting if its not already running...
Can someone tell me where the VM is created and where the changes are made?
Vagrant imports the base box which is located at ~/.vagrant.d/boxes/, like you said.
This is where the base boxes are kept. It uses it to start a VM from the clean state. When importing a VM, the responsibility of where to store data files and VM state is up to VirtualBox itself. This is a configurable location but typically defaults to ~/VirtualBox\ VMS for Mac OS X and Linux. In Windows the boxes are kept in %userprofile%\.vagrant.d\boxes
It is easy to find the place where they are getting created, regardless of what platform you happen to be using.
1. Start VirtualBox.
2. Go to the VM that shows as running instance.
3. Check out the Settings ->Storage.
4. You can find the path to location where VMs are created and stored in your file system.
I always change the directory that Virtualbox uses by default for VMs. Normally it is in your profile folder in Windows.
I change it to something like "D:\VHDs\VBox\" and there I found my vagrant test vm: "test01_1347456065". It was called test01, so I guess vagrant adds the numbers to keep things unique.
