Run command vagrant up and get default: warning: connection timeout. Retrying

Question

I have looked at some of the other post about this and half of the stuff they say makes 0 since to me or the commands they say to run in the terminal come back as command not found. I have a windows OS so that could be the problem. If you run into this problem with windows please help!

I have disabled the firewall and that did nothing.

Vagrantfile:

require 'json'
require 'yaml'

VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION = "2"
confDir = $confDir ||= File.expand_path("~/.homestead")

homesteadYamlPath = confDir + "/Homestead.yaml"
homesteadJsonPath = confDir + "/Homestead.json"
afterScriptPath = confDir + "/after.sh"
aliasesPath = confDir + "/aliases"

require File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/scripts/homestead.rb')

Vagrant.configure(VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION) do |config|
    if File.exists? aliasesPath then
        config.vm.provision "file", source: aliasesPath, destination: "~/.bash_aliases"
    end

    if File.exists? homesteadYamlPath then
        Homestead.configure(config, YAML::load(File.read(homesteadYamlPath)))
    elsif File.exists? homesteadJsonPath then
        Homestead.configure(config, JSON.parse(File.read(homesteadJsonPath)))
    end

    if File.exists? afterScriptPath then
        config.vm.provision "shell", path: afterScriptPath
    end
end

I use vagrant on a Windows host. Can you please paste your VagrantFile? — David Wilkinson, Dec 17 '15 at 16:25
Is that within the homestead folder and if so I will put it on the post — NewbieCoder, Dec 17 '15 at 16:28
What windows version? What Wm software? How does your vagrant file look like? Enable debug and post the errors — Oliver Nybroe, Dec 17 '15 at 16:30
Windows 10, not sure what you mean wm software, and I posted the file on the post so you can see now. — NewbieCoder, Dec 17 '15 at 16:31
Oh this is homestead. VMWare or VirtualBox? And please enable debug in vagrant and post that too — Oliver Nybroe, Dec 17 '15 at 16:33
Using virtualbox and how do I enable debug in vb sorry this is my very first time with this. — NewbieCoder, Dec 17 '15 at 16:36
https://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/other/debugging please Google next time — Oliver Nybroe, Dec 17 '15 at 16:46
Okay I ran vagrant up --debug and now it is stuck on DEBUG subprocess: waiting for process to exit. Remaining to timeout 32000 DEBUG subprocess: Exit status: 0 — NewbieCoder, Dec 17 '15 at 16:49
I am fairly sure that virtualbox does not work without some tweakings on windows 10. I know VMWare works, but that's not free. — Oliver Nybroe, Dec 17 '15 at 16:51
humm .. can you start the VM from virtual box ? does it work ok ? — Frederic Henri, Dec 17 '15 at 17:43
I never tried that but no I cannot it says Result Code: E_FAIL (0x80004005) Component: SessionMachine Interface: ISession {7844aa05-b02e-4cdd-a04f-ade4a762e6b7} — NewbieCoder, Dec 17 '15 at 17:46
Also something else I have noticed is that under my network connections now I have mutliple virtualBox: Host-only networks — NewbieCoder, Dec 17 '15 at 17:50
@FrédéricHenri Okay if I run as admin I can open it but then I get this : VT-x/AMD-V hardware acceleration is not available on your system. Your 64-bit guest will fail to detect a 64-bit CPU and will not be able to boot. — NewbieCoder, Dec 17 '15 at 18:00

ok as the issue is linked with VT-x/AMD-V hardware acceleration you should have 2 options:

Enable virtualization from your bios if your hardware supports it (it might be turn off in your settings)
If your hardware/CPU does not support it, tell vagrant to turn off hw virtualization by adding this in your Vagrantfile
```
config.vm.provider :virtualbox do |vb| 
  vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--hwvirtex", "off"]
end
```

something like

require 'json'
require 'yaml'

VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION = "2"
confDir = $confDir ||= File.expand_path("~/.homestead")

homesteadYamlPath = confDir + "/Homestead.yaml"
homesteadJsonPath = confDir + "/Homestead.json"
afterScriptPath = confDir + "/after.sh"
aliasesPath = confDir + "/aliases"

require File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/scripts/homestead.rb')

Vagrant.configure(VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION) do |config|
    if File.exists? aliasesPath then
        config.vm.provision "file", source: aliasesPath, destination: "~/.bash_aliases"
    end

    if File.exists? homesteadYamlPath then
        Homestead.configure(config, YAML::load(File.read(homesteadYamlPath)))
    elsif File.exists? homesteadJsonPath then
        Homestead.configure(config, JSON.parse(File.read(homesteadJsonPath)))
    end

    if File.exists? afterScriptPath then
        config.vm.provision "shell", path: afterScriptPath
    end

    config.vm.provider :virtualbox do |vb| 
      vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--hwvirtex", "off"]
    end
end

Where do I put this in the vagrantfile? I dont think this is working though thanks for the feedback. I will just continue without using vb/homestead at this point. — NewbieCoder, Dec 18 '15 at 13:57
add example with your vagrantfile, did you also check your bios settings? — Frederic Henri, Dec 18 '15 at 19:56
