error attempting to start the vagrant server

following along with the video, when running 'vagrant up' I get the following error. I believe my paths are wrong in homestead.yaml

/Users/darrenburgess/Homestead/Vagrantfile:17:in `read': No such file or directory - /Users/darrenburgess/.homestead/Homestead.yaml (Errno::ENOENT)

I figured it out. My paths were incorrect. The tilde in front results in home being in the path twice as in Users/darrenburgess/Users/darrenburgess/.... etc

Also note that the video is slightly outdated. per laravel docs, you need to run 'bash init.sh' to create the Homestead.yaml file in the home/.homestead directory. Then you edit the file in .homestead.

Hey Stefan, I was getting the exact same issue--with the exact same error message log.

The problem lay in the Vagrantfile: the homesteadYamlPath variable was screwed up for me. I changed the paths and got the Vagrant server to boot:

require 'json'
require 'yaml'

VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION = "2"

homesteadYamlPath = File.expand_path("~/Homestead/src/stubs/Homestead.yaml")
afterScriptPath = File.expand_path("~/.homestead/after.sh")
aliasesPath = File.expand_path("~/.homestead/aliases")

require_relative '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

    Homestead.configure(config, YAML::load(File.read(homesteadYamlPath)))

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

I had a similar issue but managed to resolved it. Here's what I did - hopefully it's useful for anyone looking at this in the future!

It appears that the Homestead.yaml file is now relocated in the src/stubs folder. Edit the content as per the video in this file.

Issues with Windows

If you receive errors such as:

C:/lavarel/Homestead/Vagrantfile:17:in `read': No such file or directory - C:/cygwin64/home/Bieler/.homestead/Homestead.yaml (Errno::ENOENT)
        from C:/lavarel/Homestead/Vagrantfile:17:in `block in <top (required)>'

In sublime (or you text editor), the following files should look like this (change <USER> to your correct path).

Vagrantfile

Browse to the root of Homestead and open Vagrantfile. Change to the following code:

require 'json'
require 'yaml'

VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION = "2"

homesteadYamlPath = File.expand_path("~/Homestead/src/stubs/Homestead.yaml")
afterScriptPath = File.expand_path("~/.homestead/after.sh")
aliasesPath = File.expand_path("~/.homestead/aliases")

require_relative '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

    Homestead.configure(config, YAML::load(File.read(homesteadYamlPath)))

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

Homestead.yaml

Note that this is now in the src/stubs folder (as opposed to the root as shown in the video).

Going through other Laravel tutorials this week (including the great free videos on laracast), I opted to use my previous local dev environment - Windows/XAMP/SQL. I find this a lot easier to use (vs. homestead and VM) and am utilising Heidi Sql to check database tables and columns - I find it much easier and faster with this GUI view.

Hi Paul, The yaml location looks incorrect? Did you read my earlier post? In L5, yaml is now located here >

homesteadYamlPath = File.expand_path("~/Homestead/src/stubs/Homestead.yaml").  

Tryreading my post above and see whether changing the config helps.

Just a quick comment, I had to move my .yml file into src/sub to get vagrant up to run.
