Homestead ERR_SOCKET_NOT_CONNECTED After Mac OS Update

Question

I recently updated to Big Sur on my Mac and haven't been able to access any of my VMs as web pages since. I've destroyed and rebuilt this VM using Homestead's expected installation process.

• VirtualBox 6.1.28
• Latest Homestead version from release branch
• Vagrant 2.2.18

This is the error I'm seeing

After long hours spent researching this loads of people seem to resolve it by adding the site to their hosts file. To confirm I have added this to hosts:

Error when viewing the URL without site in hosts

Update: I'm able to view the VM if I go to http://localhost:8000/. Going to http://192.168.10.10 doesn't work. From the vagrant box using curl 192.168.10.10 produces the expected HTML output of that page. So does curl localhost:8000 from my machine. If I try curl 192.168.10.10 from my machine I get curl: (55) getpeername() failed with errno 22: Invalid argument.

I've tried every other network configuration within Virtualbox and using NAT is the only one that allows the SSH connection. It seems requests aren't making it to the VirtualBox.. probably because there's an error stating the socket isn't connected.

Socket stats seems to show it's listening on port 80

As of now I have destroyed and rebuilt the box again, so it is as close to an expected installation that anyone should have.

p.s. "site.test" is a placeholder for the actual name.

Answer 1

For anyone that encounters this issue I fixed this by updating the VM to a new IP, changing the domain, and clearing the dns cache (dscacheutil –flushcache).
