Vagrant does not start on Windows CMD (Errno :: EACCES)

Question

So, I use the Vagrant Box obtained from this site: https://github.com/edx/configuration/wiki/edX-Developer-Stack

I installed it according to the instructions (although modified since I use Windows CMD), and when I type vagrant up, I get this output:

I'm not too sure what this means, or if it has anything to do with Ruby. When I ran this on Cygwin, it worked fine, but for testing I have to do this on Windows CMD.

I also tried to disable my antivirus and run CMD as an administrator. Nothing worked.

Answer 1

I had a similar problem. I found that the name “My Documents” is actually an alias for the “Documents” folder. Try changing the path by replacing Documents with My Documents.

Answer 2

I had a similar problem using a different image. You can try moving the working folder from My Documents to the path to a folder that has no spaces. It worked for me.

Answer 3

A tramp goes through every part of the path and checks that he is properly circled. This requires a transition to each part and listing of the catalog. It appears that your Windows user for some reason does not have read access to this directory, which leads to a crash.

The fact that the stack trace is shown is a bug with Vagrant, and I will fix it.

The solution is to check permissions for each component of the synchronized folder to make sure that the user has read permissions in the directory.
