Vagrant 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.

One More to do with BIOS and virtualization.

Thanks for helping me out Hampton. I'm looking forward to finally starting the Laravel Basics course.

Here is a quick possibility on stack overflow, there is an answer down the page that mentions an issue with windows. I am not sure this will help but I will try to reproduce soon. Until then maybe this can help get you on the right track.
