hosts.local permission denied

[trahloff]

Everytime I run vagrant up I get the error:

C:/HashiCorp/Vagrant/embedded/mingw64/lib/ruby/2.3.0/fileutils.rb:1394:in `initialize': Permission
denied @ rb_sysopen - C:/Users/trahloff/.vagrant.d/tmp/hosts.local (Errno::EACCES)

The Vagrantfile wasn't altered in any way.

This means Vagrant doesn't have access to modify files on host's machine.
You can try to run Vagrant as Administrator or adjust file permissions for %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc.

[trahloff]

I tried to run Vagrant as Administrator (CMD and Powershell) and the file permissions are "-a---".
What else could be the problem?

[arm4b]

No other ideas, except of file/dirs permissions.
Make sure those dirs/files (%SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc, %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts, C:/Users/trahloff/.vagrant.d/tmp/hosts.local) are writable.
Also what means -a---, "all" something?

Did you try workarounds from the links you listed above? agiledivider/vagrant-hostsupdater#89
Antivirus? Change file permissions? Destroy/re-create vagrant VM?

The point of vagrant-hostmanager plugin is to modify hosts files, so the entire fleet of Vagrant instances can be accessed by hostname like web, db, chatops instead of IP.

Something on your system is blocking that Vagrant operation to edit the hosts file.

[trahloff]

I sadly couldn't figure out how to run it on the Windows host but managed to get is to work on a Linux Host.

Hostname association still fails, though. I can't access the services with "web", "chatops" but when I try 192.168.90.61 I actually get the NGINX welcome page.
Somehow my I can't access the StackStorm Web GUI (neither https://www.chatops, nor 192.168.90.60 works).

Sorry to hear that.
The only thing I can help with, - will try to reproduce later with Vagrant: 1.9.6 and Vagrant-Hostmanager: 1.8.7 you mentioned before.

[trahloff]

Thanks a lot! Will keep you posted if I somehow manage to fix it

[trahloff]

Were you able to reproduce the problem? I think it might be the case that the st2 web instance rejects the requests because it is non-https

[arm4b]

I tried with Vagrant 1.9.1 and couldn't reproduce the issue.
Hadn't any chance yet to try with Vagrant 1.9.6.

[trahloff]

Ok, right now I'm deploying on the third machine (debian) with Vagrant 1.9.6 and can access the NGINX slaves but get a HTTP301 when curling the www.chatops endpoint. I'm getting seriously confused by the variety of errors I produced throughout the different systems.

[tino118]

1. don't use the plugin host updater.

vagrant plugin list
vagrant plugin uninstall

2. Make sure your user without elevating privileges have access to read
   write to:
   C:/Windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts
