Vagrant troubleshooting

Vagrant can be a hard tool, especially when it doesn't want to start. To make working with Vagrant a little easier, we prepared some tips:

• Make sure you have the Vagrant plugin to always load the latest guest additions:
  • Vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest
• On Windows make sure you have the NFS plugin for speed:
  • Vagrant plugin install vagrant-winnfdsd
• On Windows switching boxes might give you in trouble with winnfsd, especially when you forget to halt a box. To solve this problem halt all your boxes and kill winnfsd.exe in the task manager (details tab).
• Windows defender wants to be sure you are safe, but this has a major performance impact for Vagrant. Go to your Windows Defender settings, and exclude the VBoxHeadless.exe and winnfsd.exe processes.
• If you keep having problems:
  • Make sure you use the latest Virtualbox version
  • Make sure you use the latest Vagrant version
  • Run: vagrant plugin update
  • Reboot your system
  • Destroy your box, and run it again
• When using a default Symfony installation (instead of the Integrated one) firephp and chromephp are enabled in the default config_dev.yml. You need to remove them if you want to use the integrated-puphpet package, otherwise your pages will not load in dev mode (this seems to be because of too much header data).
• If your Vagrant won't boot in Windows 10 your VirtualBox Host-Only Network might be corrupt. Fix it by going to your network connections (click the start button and start typing "network con.."). Right click the VirtualBox Host-Only Network adapter and choose Properties. "VirtualBox NDIS6 Bridget Networking Driver" is unchecked. Check it again to solve the problem.
