A few times recently, I've had instances where Vagrant seems to have forgotten which virtual machine it's supposed to load, probably due to renaming a project directory or the .vagrant directory being moved accidentally. Here are the steps that I took to fix this and point Vagrant back at the correct VM.
|
|
|
|
* Stop the machine from running using the `$ vagrant halt` command.
|
|
* Use the `$ VBoxManage list vms` command to view a list of the virtual machines on your system. Note the ID of the correct VM that should be loading. For example, `"foo_default_1405481857614_74478" {e492bfc3-cac2-4cde-a396-e81e37e421e2}`. The number within the curly brackets is the ID of the virtual machine.
|
|
* Within the .vagrant directory in your project (it is hidden by default), update the ID within the machines/default/virtualbox/id file.
|
|
* Start the new VM with `$ vagrant up`. |
