Its working now!
I ended up doing a fresh installation of both vagrant and virtualbox.
I took the following steps:
1.
I uninstalled vagrant and Virtualbox and deleted their folders from my system.
I also deleted the following folders:
C:\Users\mysername\.homestead
C:\Users\username\Homestead - vagrant environment
I deleted all the network adapters install by VM
Open Virtualbox and click File -> Preferences, click Network tab and then Host-only networks. Click on each item and click delete button
I download and install fresh copies of Vagrant and Virtualbox.
Am using Windows 7 (32bit)
https://dl.bintray.com/mitchellh/vagrant/vagrant_1.7.2.msi
http://dlc-cdn.sun.com/virtualbox/4.3.22/VirtualBox-4.3.22-98236-Win.exe
I also download laravel/homestead manually
https://vagrantcloud.com/laravel/boxes/homestead/versions/0.2.2/providers/virtualbox.box
to my downloads folder C:\Downloads\homestead-0-2-2.box
After i have install Virtualbox and Vagrant. I installed laravel/homestead by running the following command in git bash (you can download git bash here: http://git-scm.com/downloads).
vagrant box add laravel/homestead /c/downloads/homestead-0-2-2.box
Then i downloaded vagrant environment so i can run vagrant commands:
Run this command in Git bash. I run this command inside C:\users\yourusername
git clone https://github.com/laravel/homestead.git Homestead
NB: This will create this folder: C:\Users\yourusername\Homestead
With some files.
Still in Git bash, cd into C:\Users\yourusername\Homestead and run this command:
bash init.sh
NB: this will create a folder C:\Users\yourusername\.homestead that contains Homestead.yaml and some other files
Then Generate an SSH key which you will need when you want to login to your VM by running this command:
ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "youremailaddress#youremail.com"
NB: This will ask some question simply hit enter or type yes and hit enter.
This will create your ssh key inside C:\Users\yourusername\.ssh
Then you need to configure homestead by editing.
C:\Users\digitlimit\Homestead\Homestead.yaml
You can right-click Homestead.yaml file then click open then choose to open with wordpad.
My Homestead.yaml looks this after editing:
---
ip: "192.168.10.10"
memory: 2048
cpus: 1
authorize: ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
keys:
- ~/.ssh/id_rsa
folders:
- map: /wamp/www
to: /home/vagrant/Code
sites:
- map: laravel.dev
to: /home/vagrant/Code/laravel/public
databases:
- homestead
variables:
- key: APP_ENV
value: local
# blackfire:
# - id: foo
# token: bar
NB: To understand the mapping which is a process of sharing a folder between the host and the VM:
My laravel project is located at C:\wamp\www\laravel
This directory /home/vagrant/Code will be inside the VM after installation.
So what am telling VM is, whenever you see /home/vagrant/Code reference this folder C:\wamp\www\laravel
Also in this:
sites:
- map: laravel.dev
to: /home/vagrant/Code/laravel/public
What we are saying here is when i go to my browser and type http://laravel.dev display the content of /home/vagrant/Code/laravel/public which is actually pointing to C:\www\wamp\laravel\public
After editing Homestead.yaml file save your chnages
NB: Before we can use http://laravel.dev in the host web browser to view our laravel project, we need to add this the following to the hosts file located in
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
Add this ip address under the list of other ip address listed if any:
192.168.10.10 laravel.dev
Finally, go back to your Git bash, ensure you are in
/c/Users/yourusername/homestead and type:
vagrant up
Wait for vagrant to complete its processes. Click yes when you see any dialog box asking for permission to create network adapter on your system
Well thats all i did. Working for me
