In some cases, you see an error when you attempt to create an edX virtual
machine (vagrant up
). For example:
mount.nfs: mount to NFS server '192.168.33.1:/path/to/edx-platform' failed: timed out, giving up
This error situation arises because Vagrant uses a host-only network in
Virtualbox to communicate with your computer. If a network does not exist, one
is created on vagrant up
. If this network is created with the VPN up, it
will not work. You must recreate the network with the VPN down.
To resolve the error, follow these steps.
vagrant halt
.vagrant up
.
