Issue running homestead after upgrading macos

Question

I'm running Virtualbox 7.0 I'm running vagrant 2.3.3 I'm running mac big sur

When I run vagrant up it creates a new vm, but I'm getting an error.

This is the error.

homestead: ERROR 1698 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' The SSH command responded with a non-zero exit status. Vagrant assumes that this means the command failed. The output for this command should be in the log above. Please read the output to determine what went wrong.

This is a fresh install of all software. Could someone help me to figure out what I'm doing wrong?

Answer 1

I do also have that problem. However I see that Laravel's documentation is talking about Virtualbox 6.1.x, maybe this will work for you? I still have some weird issues even with that version of VB, but who knows in your case:/

[EDIT] I just tried another install, with Vagrant 2.3.3 and VirtualBox 7.0.4. My first vagrant up failed, because of "nfs" type used (which I'm using out of habit but I guess it's not really mandatory) and it seemed to work after that.

I would advise you to fully uninstall Vagrant and VirtualBox, and try again with latest version.

PS: I'm also on Mac Big Sur.

PPS: I don't understand your downvote either, so here is an upvote, you made me wonder "why not try with VB 7.0.x?"

[EDIT 2] I actually managed to make everything work with VirtualVox 6. I actually was stuck on some weird error message stating something like

Progress state: NS_ERROR_FAILURE
VBoxManage: error: Failed to create the host-only adapter
VBoxManage: error: VBoxNetAdpCtl: Error while adding new interface: VBoxNetAdpCtl: ioctl failed for /dev/vboxnetctl: Inappropriate ioctl for devic
VBoxManage: error: Details: code NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005), component HostNetworkInterface, interface IHostNetworkInterface
VBoxManage: error: Context: "int handleCreate(HandlerArg*, int, int*)" at line 66 of file VBoxManageHostonly.cpp

And it looks like this guy had the answer for Mac users :

1. Open VirtualBox and shut down every VM running
2. Go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy Then hit the "Allow" button to let Oracle (VirtualBox) load.
3. Restart VirtualBox

It all worked like a charm after that. Hope it'll help you !
