Frequently Asked Questions

1. My /var/www/summercamp is empty

   Do you have the nfs-kernel-server or equivalent installed and running?

2. My basebox is downloading slowly.

   Some people repored this, and we could not reproduce it. But you could do a

   wget http://www.netgenlabs.com/ezsc/summercamp2015.box
   

   to download the base box, and once downloaded you can do

   vagrant box add netgen/summercamp2015 summercamp2015.box
   

   I am assuming that you are executing the command from the same directory where you downloaded the box.

3. run.sh is throwing exceptions and errors

   You should pull the latest master from the repo. You should ssh into your vm by executing

   vagrant ssh
   

   then change directory to summercamp by executing

   cd /var/www/summercamp
   

   and then run the run.sh by executing

   ./run.sh
   

   OR

   bash ./run.sh
   

4. Vagrant is provisioning my vm, this takes a long time

   Your base box has already been provisioned, and without some explicit need you should not have to do this. You should stop the provisioning process by stopping the vagrant (CTRL+c works), then destroy the vm by executing

   vagrant destroy
   

   and then start a new vm by executing, and this is really important

   vagrant up --no-provision
   

   That --no-provision will make sure that the provisioning is NOT done.

5. I am getting the connection timeout after adding of the private key, the error looks like

       default: SSH username: vagrant
       default: SSH auth method: private key
       default: Warning: Connection timeout. Retrying...
       default: Warning: Connection timeout. Retrying...    
   

   You should open up the Virtualbox, click the vm running (name should be along the lines of netgen-summercamp2015....) and reset it (on OSX it is cmd+t). This is due to some weird bug somewhere on intersection of vagrant, virtualbox and this ubuntu cloud image. After the initial virtual machine build, you will not need to use this.

6. Vagrant is complaining about locales and crashes

   In ~/.bash_profile (or equivalent) add

   export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
   export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
