default: Warning: Connection timeout. Retrying...

Posted by Darwin Biler on August 7, 2014

So, you are trying to install Laravel Homestead and when you hit the vagrant up command, you see this bunch of Connection Timeout thing.

This is because the homestead box is using 64bit OS

https://github.com/laravel/settler/blob/master/Vagrantfile

Vagrant.configure(VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION) do |config|
	# Configure The Box
	config.vm.box = "ubuntu/trusty64"
	config.vm.hostname = "homestead"

The issue with that is, if your computer is not enabled for the VT-x setting in BIOS, you will have this particular issue.

Solutions:

1. Restart your computer and check the settings if there is an option to enable VT-x

2. Use the 32-bit version of the Homestead, which is

git clone https://github.com/buonzz/homestead32.git Homestead

follow the normal setup as stated in the Laravel Doc, hit the vagrant up and you should be fine

Let me know if you happen to find any other solutions! :-)
