After following the steps in the video, typing "vagrant up" in the terminal, I get this:
default: Waiting for machine to boot. This may take a few minutes... default: SSH address: 127.0.0.1:2222 default: SSH username: treehouse default: SSH auth method: private key default: Warning: Connection timeout. Retrying... default: Warning: Authentication failure. Retrying... default: Warning: Authentication failure. Retrying... default: Warning: Authentication failure. Retrying...
And then this message in red:
Timed out while waiting for the machine to boot. This means that Vagrant was unable to communicate with the guest machine within the configured ("config.vm.boot_timeout" value) time period.
If you look above, you should be able to see the error(s) that Vagrant had when attempting to connect to the machine. These errors are usually good hints as to what may be wrong.
If you're using a custom box, make sure that networking is properly working and you're able to connect to the machine. It is a common problem that networking isn't setup properly in these boxes. Verify that authentication configurations are also setup properly, as well.
If the box appears to be booting properly, you may want to increase the timeout ("config.vm.boot_timeout") value.
What is wrong with the authentication and how do I fix it? Thank you!
