Problems you might have when trying this with Windows 7 64

  1. If "vagrant up" hangs at "checking if box if up to date..." or while trying to setup the port forwardings, install latest Powershell.

  2. If vagrant is unable to connect to VM via SSH, try install an older version of VirtualBox, e.g. VirtualBox-4.3.12-93733-Win.exe

  3. If you have probems building the tutorial, like "nmp install", you might have problems with symlinks inside your mounted folders. In this case, don´t use the shared folders by vagrant!

  • create a new folder inside the vm, e.g. /home/vagrant/plan9local
  • put all code here, do all checkouts, builds, whatever only here!
  • install samba (aptitude install samba)
  • add samba user (smbpasswd -a vagrant)
  • add share: edit /etc/samba/smb.conf, add:
[home]
public = no
create mode = 0777
writeable = yes
path = /home/vagrant/
browsable = yes
  • add windows network drive, use IP of your VM (eth1, host-only), e.g. \\192.168.42.2\home\ username: vagrant, password: you have choosen with smbpasswd

so after this, you should have a mounted linux folder inside you windows host, and NOT a windows folder, mounted inside the VM, beause thats the way you should do it when working with windwows ;)
