Couldn't open file /Users/mcdiarmid/tbird/base

Sorry, I'm a dummy. I was hitting vagrant up in the wrong folder. It's working now.

Hi Natasha,

I think, it doesn't have a box defined yet after created Vagrant project , did you can try "vagrant init hashicorp/precise32" or "vagrant init" and then vagrant up again?

Here's solution: http://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/getting-started/

Okay probably VirtualBox IDs are different.

  • Let's type in Windows console --> "vboxmanage list vms" to see ID numbers in between curly brackets

  • then just check your folders --> "vagrantdirectory/.vagrant/machines/default/virtualbox/id" to make sure if it is same ID

  • OR add new ID by typing --> echo "1234564-1234-1234-1234-123456478910" > .vagrant/machines/default/virtualbox/id
