I have tried to access my projects sites that I have set up on homestead, they were working all fine before, and I haven't been working on them for few weeks, but today when I have tried to access them I couldn't open the sites. I have tried to run vagrant ssh but I get this error:
VM must be running to open SSH connection. Run `vagrant up`
to start the virtual machine.
And when I try to do vagrant up, I get:
Vagrant can't use the requested machine because it is locked! This
means that another Vagrant process is currently reading or modifying
the machine. Please wait for that Vagrant process to end and try
again. Details about the machine are shown below:
Name: default
Provider: virtualbox
When I do:
vagrant status 'idOfTheMachine'
I get:
vagrant status 'idOfTheMachine'
/Users/myName/Homestead/Vagrantfile:4: warning: already initialized constant VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION
/Users/myName/Homestead/Vagrantfile:4: warning: previous definition of VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION was here
Current machine states:
default poweroff (virtualbox)
The VM is powered off. To restart the VM, simply run `vagrant up`
When I have opened virtualbox, and tried to see the shared folders, I could see the shared folders in the terminal but not the projects inside of them. I have googled around about this issue, but can't find any solution to it. Should I destroy the homestead machine on the virtual box and make a new one, and if so, how to make that properly, so that I have the same projects on the new machine?
I have this problem as well, and while I don't understand how/why it happens, I did find that running
vagrant reload {boxid}
will usually bring up the box and allow me to connect to it.
You're probably like me and 'vagrant halt' your box when you're done coding to free up resources and expect to just be able to turn it back on effortlessly with 'vagrant up', but it would seem that's not the case. Hopefully this gets you back on your feet and someone else who knows whats happening can explain why this happens.
