The .yaml file is this:

keys:
    - C:/Users/ATILEON/.ssh/id_rsa

folders:
    - map: C:/Users/ATILEON/Desktop/Code
      to: /home/vagrant/Code

sites:
    - map: homestead.app
      to: /home/vagrant/Code/Laravel/public

variables:
    - key: APP_ENV
      value: local

EDIT:

I've Tried:

  • Uninstall and re-install vagrant and virtualbox
  • delete and update ".vagrant.d" folder and laravel/homestead box
  • Virtualization on my BIOS is enabled.
  • generate at every installation the SSH keys

But.... nothing.... and this is borin me

I run into problems as well when I had to install Laravel using Homestead and Vagrant, so don't worry, I'm pretty sure you'll find a solution. On my case It was because of Vtx support disabled in the BIOS, but really well hidden in the overclocking settings.

What I could recommand is :

  • First of all, be sure your computer has Vtx Support, if not you might look at this post :

https://teamtreehouse.com/forum/laravel-for-windows-with-no-vtx-cpu-support-solved

  • Be sure to have vagrant installed correctly, test the equivalent of vragant -v but for windows. I think that's something like vagrant.exe -v (not sure, not on windows now can't test here, I'm running on linux).

  • Enable GUI for the virtualbox, because maybe there are dialog boxes being displayed with useful information that could help you to solve your issue.

This is the lines you should add to enable gui:

config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |v| v.gui = true end

My complete vagrant file with this configuration added looks like that:

VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION = "2"

path = "#{File.dirname(FILE)}"

require 'yaml' require path + '/scripts/homestead.rb'

Vagrant.configure(VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION) do |config| Homestead.configure(config, YAML::load(File.read(path + '/Homestead.yaml'))) config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |v| v.gui = true end end

I've added this to the vagrant file and the log says that there's an syntax error, I've tried copy paste too but nothing, same syntax error. Im sick of this :P

Ok sorry, my fault, It's not correctly indented, here is a link to my VagrantFile, this includes the activation of the GUI. It's a copy/past, so that must works.
