18,663 PointsVagrant keeps timing out. (Windows 8.1) [SOLVED]
This happens every time I try to use homestead. I've included an image below.
Sidenotes: running Git Bash, Windows 8 x64, Virtual Box 4.3.14 r95030
I've tried:
- Removing and re-adding the vagrant box
- Enabling PAE/NX Accleration on VB
- Adding VB gui, see code block below
The homestead.yaml is unchanged, here is my Vagrantfile
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 |vb|
vb.gui = true
end
end
Solution:
I was messing around with Virtual Box and came across an error that said something along the lines of VT-x is disabled. It needs to enabled.
So I had to boot in the BIOS (shut down your computer, restart and keep pressing F2 until a blue screen pops up). Here's a link on what to do.
