Vagrant/VMWare – “default: Warning: Connection timeout. Retrying…” – Keeps occuring after a couple hours after having a box/setup that appears to work.

by

I'm new to this so please let me know if any more information might help.

I'm required to have a setup for dev testing for work. I'm using vagrant and vmware on a Macbook. Essentially, I make a hashicorp/precise 32 box, I set the private network IP to a manual IP, download apache/php/mysql/etc. Now, once I have it all set up I can vagrant up/ssh, connect to my db with sequel pro, view my IP in browser, etc. However, it seems that without me making any changes, the error above will occur after a few hours.

Can anyone give any pointers for this, as it is happening almost daily to me and I'm not able to move forward with my work until I have a stable setup.

Thank you.

EDIT: I think it has to do with the vm server not shutting down properly as described in this discussion: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22575261/vagrant-stuck-connection-timeout-retrying. However, I was not able to fix it using the steps mentioned. And to be honest, I really need to stop it from occuring more so than fix one instance of it as it is happening to fresh setups daily.

  1. happens with virtualbox provider too, it doesn’t seem to be related to os bootup time either, it does seem to only happen after a few starts of the vm, not straight away. setting the timeout value doesn’t seem to help either. i heard its something to do with dhcp, but i don’t use it.
