Homestead vagrant up error

I suggest removing Homestead completely (saving Homestead.yaml I guess), updating VirtualBox/Vagrant and running through it again.

This post might help: https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/laravel/homestead-up-problemas?page=1#reply-130684

@bashy That's not working for me, unfortunately. I have now two times install all again, still get this error or an other error..

Search for someone that can take a look at it, with teamviewer or something.. Still working for 8 hours on this issue but can't fix it. Maybe you can further help?

@bobbybouwmann , I read that post but it doesn't help me.. for fixing my issues

Have you tried deleting everything? And then download it again?

Yeah, two times, I deleted vagrant, homestead and VirtualBox.. and install it again

Have you tried to restart your computer as well?

Yeah a few times, after deleting and installing the applications.

This

Setting the name of the VM: homestead-7

Makes me believe you still have an old version somewhere. This was the php7 branch but is now the master one. Can you show what you deleted and how you installed Homestead again?

@bashy : Yeah there is still a version global installed by composer, do i have to delete that one? In that homestead.yaml stays: box: laravel/homestead-7

But the vagrant up I run is in a other directory where I now installed homestead...

I installed it by the post above;

-  vagrant box add laravel/homestead and save the sites you have setup (if required) in ~/.homestead/Homestead.yaml

- rm -rf ~/Homestead ~/.homestead

- cd ~

- git clone https://github.com/laravel/homestead.git Homestead

- cd Homestead

- bash init.sh

- edit new ~/.homestead/Homestead.yaml file

- vagrant up or vagrant reload --provision

I removed now laravel/homestead from the composer.json file

I don't know if it's neccesary but in the GUI of virtual box there is also no virtual machine..

Okay so you do this after that?

cd ~/Homestead
vagrant up

Can you also do this so we can see what versions

vagrant box list

@bashy

Yeah i do vagrant up and then the error messages is showing up

I found out how to see my virtual machines in VirtualBox to running it in terminal with: sudo virtualbox gui

I saw a lot of vm's, i deleted all and started again, but when I vagrant up again after adding homestead he stills add homestead-7

But in homestead.rb file it stands also:

vb.name = settings["name"] ||= "homestead-7

When i'm running vagrant box list, one thing is showing up:

laravel/homestead (virtualbox, 0.4.0)

So what can I do now?

@bashy

I changed this line in homestead.rb:

vb.name = settings["name"] ||= "homestead-7

to:

vb.name = settings["name"] ||= "homestead

When I now running VAGRANT UP, the console said:

==> default: VirtualBox VM is already running.

But when I look in the GUI of VirtualBox there is only one machine with the name: homestead-7

Don't edit the homestead.rb file. It is actually called homestead-7 in my VirtualBox so forget about that part.

Not sure what else to check.

FInd out the solution

In my home directory ~, There was an old directory .vagrant and .vagrant.d, you have to delete these and add the laravel/homestead box again. Then it should work.

Thanks for the response guys!
