How do I modify my current projects Vagrantfile to use another port?
Here's the Terminal message when I try to download and reinstall the virtualbox:
Vinhs-MacBook-Pro:treehouse vvu$ cd treehouse
-bash: cd: treehouse: No such file or directory
Vinhs-MacBook-Pro:treehouse vvu$ ls
Vagrantfile projects
Vinhs-MacBook-Pro:treehouse vvu$ vagrant up
Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider... Vagrant cannot forward the specified ports on this VM, since they would collide with some other application that is already listening on these ports. The forwarded port to 3000 is already in use on the host machine.
To fix this, modify your current projects Vagrantfile to use another port. Example, where '1234' would be replaced by a unique host port:
config.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: 3000, host: 1234
Sometimes, Vagrant will attempt to auto-correct this for you. In this case, Vagrant was unable to. This is usually because the guest machine is in a state which doesn't allow modifying port forwarding. Vinhs-MacBook-Pro:treehouse vvu$

Treehouse Guest TeacherTry changing it in the Vagrantfile:
config.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: 3000, host: 3001
That should set it so you access it from your local computer on port 3001 instead.
