Using this awesome Scotch Box for PHP projects would be more comfortable with Xdebug pre-installed on the VM. I think it's not too hard to install it manually, but it would be nice to add it by default.

Hi, I have tried to use the scotch box in my windows 10 machine for last two days. Every time I git clone and vagrant up I'm getting the following error:

Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider...
==> default: Importing base box 'scotch/box'...
==> default: Matching MAC address for NAT networking...
==> default: Checking if box 'scotch/box' is up to date...

There was an error while executing `VBoxManage`, a CLI used by Vagrant
for controlling VirtualBox. The command and stderr is shown below.

Command: ["startvm", "47af6fe7-aa62-4aa6-89d8-e2518f364183", "--type", "headless"]

Stderr: VBoxManage.exe: error: VT-x is disabled in the BIOS for all CPU modes (VERR_VMX_MSR_ALL_VMX_DISABLED)
VBoxManage.exe: error: Details: code E_FAIL (0x80004005), component ConsoleWrap, interface IConsole

My OS: Windows 10 Varant: 1.8.1 VirtualBox: 5.0.16

I have removed and reinstalled vagrant and different version of VB. Yet no luck. Can anybody please advise. Many thanks.

I've started up scotch box without issue. But, when I go into sequel pro and try to get into the mysql through ssh I get the following error: "SSH connection failed, The SSH tunnel has unexpectedly closed." My connection settings are below. Name: scotchbox Mysql Host: 127.0.01 User: root Password: root SSH Host: 192.168.33.10 SSH user: vagrant SSH password: vagrant

With a fresh Scotch Box 3.0 you need to install php7.0-xml and restart apache2 for Drupal 8 to work:

sudo apt-get install php7.0-xml
sudo service apache2 restart

Otherwise Scotch Box 3.0 works fine with Drush and Drupal 8, good job with the new version Nick! :+1:

This is how I install Drush:

wget http://files.drush.org/drush.phar;
php drush.phar core-status;
chmod +x drush.phar;
sudo mv drush.phar /usr/local/bin/drush;
drush init;

NOTE: fix ~/.bashrc - this line is missing a line break:

# Include Drush bash customizations.
if [ -f "/home/vagrant/.drush/drush.bashrc" ] ; then
  source /home/vagrant/.drush/drush.bashrc
fi

source ~/.bashrc afterwards, to make it take effect.

I'm splitting this into it's own issue due to it's global impact to all non-stock instances of Scotch Box as a whole. This post assumes you've read my comment on #257.

tl;dr: installed php PPA is dead, if you wish to alter/add/change modules installed via that ppa, you're gonna have a bad time.

Since we're at this stand-still and lots of us have work to do, I'd like to bat-signal @whatnickcodes for intervention.

This is a breaking change to most environments (any reliant on installing/altering php modules), and requires rectification as soon as possible. Due to the build process being effectively closed-source (if it's out there, I sure haven't found it), this will require direct intervention from someone with access to the aforementioned build scripts.

I am more than happy to help in any way possible. As a longtime sysadmin turned dev, I have no problem assisting with the creation/cleanup/updating. I was rolling my own vagrant customization to stock ubuntu prior to this, effectively creating the same thing until I found Scotch Box ~1.5 years ago. Since then, my team has been using it almost exclusively.

I cannot seem to find any public resources regarding the creation of the actual vagrant box from it's base machine. I see reference of the environment utilizing Chef, and Packer in the future; though a lack of the scripts themselves.

Proposed solution going forward

I'd like to take this time to formally propose open-sourcing the build scripts surrounding the Vagrant "scotch/box".

With intentional regard to reducing the risk of hard forks/competing solutions, I still feel publishing the build scripts for the box would eliminate the panic and helplessness I'm feeling now. Since the repo would optimally still be under the "scotch-io" GH organization, control (and final say) of included changes would still be handled (I assume) by Nicholas Cerminara.

The proposed solution would allow Nicholas to maintain the project's technical and creative direction, but remove the need for him to preform all legwork associated with configuration/upkeep. At the same time, fostering community around the development of Scotch Box.

I recommend that if my suggestion comes to fruition, the box's build process be placed in a separate repository than the example project repo (maintaining the low dependency nature of Scotch Box).

Note: This issue is created with the intention of solving the problem with the PPA. While I do talk about it at length here, further discussion about the possibility of granting access to the build process should be carried out in a new issue (assumes there's discussion to be had).

I am facing an issue : Vagrant was unable to mount VirtualBox shared folders. This is usually because the filesystem "vboxsf" is not available. This filesystem is made available via the VirtualBox Guest Additions and kernel module. Please verify that these guest additions are properly installed in the guest. This is not a bug in Vagrant and is usually caused by a faulty Vagrant box. For context, the command attempted was:

mount -t vboxsf -o uid=1000,gid=1000 var_www /var/www

The error output from the command was:

/sbin/mount.vboxsf: mounting failed with the error: No such file or directory

How can i solve it.

If you update your Scotch Box to version 3.0 with vagrant box update, next time you vagrant up the process will just loop, probably because a password prompt has been introduced with the latest Scotch Box version 3.0.

Looks like it's time to look for an alternative to Scotch Box, it was great while it lasted ... Anyone got any suggestions for a basic Vagrant LAMP with PHP 7, MySQL, etc.?

The docs should mention how to properly install laravel, and use all the features with scotchbox... as people coming from your sites laravel tutorials will definitely have problems doing so.

Also basically can't use laravel installer out of the box used composer to install laravel.

So I've been having this issue for a while now. I don't know how but sometimes after a while it would fix itself. At first I thought it was my host but my host is fine. Basically I called it rpgcms.dev and I'm pointing to the default IP.

If I ssh into the box and curl localhost, it works. If I curl from outside the box, I get a timed out error.

I'm on Windows running latest scotch box. I searched pretty much everywhere and everyone suggested the following:

• vagrant provision
• vagrant reload
• double check the host file
• empty your browser cache and try again
• destroy and vagrant up again

I tried everything. I have no clue what's going on. It was working fine but I restarted my PC and now just can't connect.

I've used Scotchbox for a while for different projects. It's great, but yesterday I encountered a critical problem.

Recently I was building a Wordpress site, and all was fine. Yesterday I start up that Scotchbox install as usual (via Vagrant Manager under OSX10.11.2) and go to my custom url (example.dev) and I get the initial window you find in Wordpress before a database has been created.

I immediately halted the Scotchbox VM.

Opening Virtualbox, I can see (for reasons unknown) three VMs with the name I chose for the project: one whose name I edited in Virtualbox, and the other two with "name_default_xxxxxxxxxxxxxx".

What I hope is that for some reason Vagrant Up is starting the wrong box, and that in one of those VMs is my database.

When I start up the VM from Vagrant Manager, and then use Sequel Pro to SSH into the database via my custom private network IP, I can get in, see the database (named scotchbox, as in the default name), open it, but there's no tables there.

But again, maybe Vagrant is starting up the wrong VM, though how this happened I have no idea.

So: 1) Is there a way to repoint my Vagrantfile so it starts up, in turn, the other two VMs that show up in Virtualbox? That way, I can start them up and see if my Wordpress site is alive in one of them. 2) Is there any other way of physically tracing my database in my file system, or even the file system of the three VMs? Where does Scotchbox store databases?

I'm pretty screwed if I lost that database. I didn't (stupidly) take a backup within Wordpress. I can think of no reason or action that would wipe it. But I did update Virtualbox itself, and the Extension Pack. But that's pretty much all I changed recently.

Worryingly, my other Scotchbox installs appear to be okay.

Any thoughts, help or guidance much appreciated!

Is it possible to get those things updated?

PHP is not that critical, but MySQL got some really cool things in (see http://mysqlserverteam.com/whats-new-in-mysql-5-7-generally-available/) so it will be really cool to have it on board.

Mac OS Monterey 12.4. I haven't gotten past this error. Hope someone can help. ERROR: <The IP address configured for the host-only network is not within the allowed ranges. Please update the address used to be within the allowed ranges and run the command again.

Valid ranges can be modified in the /etc/vbox/networks.conf file. For more information including valid format see:

I visited the website mentioned above, "/etc/vbox" doesn’t exist in Monterey. I found "VirtualBox VMs" In the Users folder. Still can't locate "vbox/networks.conf file to configure the IP Address. Can someone help me with this. Thanks.

After run the WPDistillery, go to the Wordpress admin page, there is a notification like this：

hope someone can help to update the php version settings

cheers~

My NodeJS project uses nodemon as a dev dependency. I have a script in my package.json which starts the NodeJS server using nodemon. The utility of using nodemon is that any changes you make to the code and save, it automatically restarts the server. As it is with scotch-box, while running a NodeJS app, you have to manually stop the server then start it again whenever you have saved some changes.

Hi,

I'm experiencing difficulties setting up the NFS on my MacOS Catalina. Everything is working fine on the default settings, I can browse my site, access MySQL etc..

When reloading the server with NFS enabled everything installs fine, I input the admin password when asked for and the installation is completed, however when I try to reach my website it gives me a 403 forbidden error.

During install I did get the following message, however I'm not sure if this has anything to do about it:

    default: The guest additions on this VM do not match the installed version of
    default: VirtualBox! In most cases this is fine, but in rare cases it can
    default: prevent things such as shared folders from working properly. If you see
    default: shared folder errors, please make sure the guest additions within the
    default: virtual machine match the version of VirtualBox you have installed on
    default: your host and reload your VM.
    default:
    default: Guest Additions Version: 5.2.6
    default: VirtualBox Version: 6.1

Thank you in advance for your help
