Errors during vagrant up

[rucka]

Hi All,
I installed virtual box (4.2.2), vagrant and ghost-vagrant as read me documentation on my ; also i upgraded virtual box guest addition.
After vagrant up command 'git submodule update' error occur (my logs following):

The following SSH command responded with a non-zero exit status.
Vagrant assumes that this means the command failed!

Can you help me?
Thanks

Can you try to vagrant halt && vagrant up once and see if that resolves it?

Otherwise, once the machine goes up and has the error, you can still ssh in via vagrant ssh then go to the code directory and run npm install for yourself to see the error message.

[rucka]

Thank for your reply jgable. Log provided belong to vagrant halt and vagrant up :(
After login and npm install, error is:

For what it's worth, I'm experiencing identical errors on two different physical machines.

[halfdan]

@rucka, @lourinaldi This sounds like Ghost is not properly mounted into the virtual machine. Please make sure that you have cloned the Ghost repository alongside Ghost-Vagrant. Your directory structure should look like the following:

./
./Ghost/
./Ghost-Vagrant/

Please also make sure that NFS works properly on your machines.

[lourinaldi]

@halfdan you were right, I had unpacked https://ghost.org/zip/ghost-0.4.1.zip rather than cloning the repo. Fixed that. But I still get "grunt init" errors during provisioning.

[halfdan]

@lourinaldi Can you post the errors here?

[lourinaldi]

@halfdan I wiped everything and re-cloned the two repos fresh. On running vagrant up, I get the following (only pasting relevant section). Then going to http://local.tryghost.org/ yields "502 Bad Gateway" from nginx.

[halfdan]

Those are mostly notices. You receive the 502 Bad Gateway because you didn't start Ghost. You need to vagrant ssh into the virtual machine and then cd code/Ghost/. Then run npm install -g grunt-cli && npm install and finally start Ghost with npm start.

---

@lourinaldi Can you try and update the guest additions? (https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost-Vagrant#updating-virtual-box-guest-additions). Do a vagrant destroy to delete the previous image.

[kamilkowalski]

Hi there, I just tried setting up the Vagrant box and got a similar error:

...
err: /Stage[main]/Ghost/Ghost::Npm[grunt-cli]/Exec[install-grunt-cli-npm-package]/returns: change from notrun to 0 failed: npm install -g grunt-cli returned 1 instead of one of [0] at /tmp/vagrant-puppet-1/modules-0/ghost/manifests/init.pp:46
...

So it failed at installing grunt-cli (probably just because it's the first package listed). I logged into the box and went to ~/code/Ghost and tried running npm install -g grunt-cli, what I got was:

vagrant@vagrant-ubuntu-precise-64:~/code/Ghost$ npm install -g grunt-cli
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/grunt-cli
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/grunt-cli
npm http 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/grunt-cli
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/grunt-cli/-/grunt-cli-0.1.13.tgz
npm ERR! fetch failed https://registry.npmjs.org/grunt-cli/-/grunt-cli-0.1.13.tgz
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/grunt-cli/-/grunt-cli-0.1.13.tgz
npm http 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/grunt-cli/-/grunt-cli-0.1.13.tgz
npm ERR! Error: EACCES, mkdir '/home/vagrant/nvm/v0.10.5/lib/node_modules/grunt-cli'
...

So I checked out the path where it tries to install the modules:

vagrant@vagrant-ubuntu-precise-64:~/code/Ghost$ ls -la ~/nvm/v0.10.5/lib
total 16
drwxr-xr-x 4 24561 admin 4096 May 13  2013 .
drwxr-xr-x 5 root  root  4096 Feb 27 23:36 ..

drwxr-xr-x 5 24561 admin 4096 Feb 27 23:39 node_modules

The directory is owned by some admin user and we run npm install as vagrant. I think we could do a chown -R vagrant:vagrant ~/nvm after nvm is installed so the user can install the node packages himself.

I have no clue why it fails upon provisioning though - that should be run as root, right?

[jgable]

@kamilkowalski what version of vagrant and virtual box are you working with?

[lourinaldi]

@halfdan I finally got it to work after reading @kamilkowalski's comment. And that was only after disabling the new MySQL provisioning in the puppet init file, which was also failing.

[halfdan]

@lourinaldi Oh - did you get any errors from the MySQL provisioning? I just added MySQL recently and tried to test it as best as I could.

[kamilkowalski]

@jgable Just tested at work on VirtualBox 4.3.4 and Vagrant 1.4.3 - same error. Back home I have VirtualBox 4.3.6 and Vagrant 1.4.2 I believe. I noticed in README.md that there's no '>=' next to Vagrant's version - does that mean that it has to be exactly the 1.2.2 version?

Anyway, when I logged in to the box here at work and tried running npm install -g grunt-cli, I first got an error I got only once yesterday:

...
npm ERR! fetch failed https://registry.npmjs.org/grunt-cli/-/grunt-cli-0.1.13.tgz
npm ERR! Error: SELF_SIGNED_CERT_IN_CHAIN
...

So I switched to a http:// registry, and then I got the same as yesterday. Running sudo chown -R vagrant:vagrant ~/nvm allowed me to install grunt-cli.

Regardless of the error, I think the nvm directory and its subdirectories should be owned by vagrant since it resides in /home/vagrant - Ghost is run by the vagrant user as well. I don't know how to change the permissions in Puppet manifests though, I don't know that much about it.

[chevcast]

@kamilkowalski Just so you know, yesterday my builds on Travis-CI were failing also due to SELF_SIGNED_CERT_IN_CHAIN errors. I believe the issue was caused by NPM if I had to guess. My builds are all passing today and I changed nothing.

[jgable]

This looks like a couple of things, the permissions issues, and our old version of NPM was having the SELF_SIGNED_CERT_IN_CHAIN issues after the perms issues were resolved.

Have a fix inbound 🚀

[kamilkowalski]

@jgable good news! 👍 I was having SSL issues previously not only with npm but also with Ruby Gems. In those cases I usually changed the repository address to HTTP since I thought it's a connectivity problem, good to know it's just a bug.

[halfdan]

Just to add a source regarding the SSL issues: http://blog.npmjs.org/post/78085451721/npms-self-signed-certificate-is-no-more

[davidblurton]

I have had a horrible time trying to use this. When puppet fails at the mysql step you are left in a horrible half installed state. How about using a pre-built image instead of using puppet to install dependencies?

[halfdan]

@davidblurton It would be a lot more helpful if you posted actual error messages here. vagrant up works fine for me and this was confirmed by a few other people that were able to set up the vagrant machine by following the guideline.

Using a pre-built image wouldn't work, as we will also add PostgreSQL.

Did you run git submodule init and git submodule update —recursive?

Then I follow the instructions in your bad gateway comment above and get the following errors:

Ok, figured out the problem. Looks like I've been hitting this npm bug because I'd already installed some of the dependencies in my source folder.

I also had to build sqlite3 from source because it had been built on my mac by grunt init which meant the binary didn't work inside vagrant. I guess I should've run grunt init inside vagrant instead.

The solution was to delete the node_modules directory and then npm install and grunt init from vagrant.

[jbinto]

@davidblurton Thanks, removing node_modules is what did it. I spent a while banging my head against the wall, down the same path as you and others in this thread (502 bad gateway, grunt init complaining about "Unable to find local grunt.", etc.)
