A customization command failed:

["modifyvm", "bd6f6fc8-c3d3-43a8-8f0f-d4565cc1b584", "--name", "Foo Bar VM", "--memory", "512"]

The following error was experienced:

VBoxManage: error: Could not rename the directory '/Users/till/VirtualBox VMs/var_1350669697' to '/Users/till/VirtualBox VMs/Foo Bar VM' to save the settings file (VERR_ALREADY_EXISTS)
VBoxManage: error: Details: code NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005), component SessionMachine, interface IMachine, callee nsISupports
Context: "SaveSettings()" at line 2300 of file VBoxManageModifyVM.cpp


Please fix this customization and try again.

So, the way to recreate this:

  • work with your VMs for one, maybe two weeks
  • experience kernel panic
  • (hope that one of the VMs was not cleaned up from ~/VirtualBox VMs)
  • try vagrant up
  • see above error

I'm sure it's not simple to fix this since you cannot just deleted — could probably be from suspended VMs as well? Not sure if there is a way to indicate if this directory belongs to anything still or if it's an artifact of a previous run.

Hm, this needs more information. Specifically: Any clean way to reproduce this?

Otherwise, I'm not sure what solution there is to this, because as OP said, I can't just delete the directory because it could be a legitimate VM there.

Hi Mitchell,

I experienced a similar error, but I managed to recover from it. I had suspended an existing VM saved as C:\cygwin\home\Philip\VirtualBox VMs\test-box a couple of weeks ago. When I tried to "vagrant up", vagrant displayed the same error as till reported, except of course the GUID was different.

When I had a look in the VirtualBox VMs folder, I noticed "test-box" was still there, and a new folder "vm_1365034476" had been created.

I opened "test-box" with the VirtualBox GUI app, restarted the machine and logged in with no errors. I managed to shut down and power off the machine from the VM command line.

Back in my vagrant root folder, I opened the .vagrant file to find that it contained the single line {"active":{"default":"9a3742cf-69cb-4c36-b646-feaca7cb6145"}}. The GUID here matched the one in the error message. Hmm.

I replaced the GUID with "test-box", (i.e. the line now read {"active":{"default":"test-box"}}), and ran "vagrant up" again. This time, the box started up as expected.

Also hit the same error. My procedure was:

$ vagrant up
work
$ vagrant suspend
restart host machine
$ vagrant up

I realize now I should have issued vagrant resume after the restart but it seems to have put things into a broken state.

Ubuntu 13.04, Vagrant 1.2.2

To resolve my situation, I opened up my ~/VirtualBox VMs folder and identified the correct VM folder (local in my case). I then opened up local.vbox with a text editor and copied the Machine UUID:

<Machine uuid="{2cc2d77d-a785-41fd-8220-9294ecc6e7af}" name="local" OSType="Ubuntu_64" snapshotFolder="Snapshots" lastStateChange="2013-05-07T17:54:02Z">
2cc2d77d-a785-41fd-8220-9294ecc6e7af

I pasted that, overriding the existing ID in .vagrant/machines/local/virtualbox/id which somehow got out of sync, presumably due to me using vagrant up instead of vagrant resume

I had the same error during following steps on: http://docs-v1.vagrantup.com/v1/docs/base_boxes.html

[Working environmnet: Windows with VirtualBox / Vagrant]

If think that issue is that vagrant somehome remembers old path When Initial VirtualBox machine has been created:
My Steps:

  1. [OK] Create basic VirtualBox machine
  2. [OK] Run vagrant package ...
  3. [OK] Run vagrant box add my_box
  4. [ERROR] - Run vagrant up.

So what I've noticed: vagrant is working this way:

  1. Copy image to previous path - where vagrant package has been run.
  2. When disk is extracted - vagrant is trying adjust XML file (with settings) and then rename folder to something like: ENV_NAME_SOMEID.

So if there is any process which still using old path - where vagrant package has been created, vagrant up will fail with these errors which you described. For example - there is still cmd.exe run on old path.

How to repeat this issue:

  • Create some VM in VirtualBox: for example /myVMs/vagrant_test
  • Setup this VM as you wouldl like to
  • Run cmd.exe (working on windows - or go to this directory under shell in Linux)
  • Run commad vagrant package ...
  • Run another shell (cmd.exe) and run commads: vagrant box add box_name
  • Then vagrant up - this should fail with error about renaming folder (vagrant extraxting files exectly to the same path like before: /myVMS/vagrant_test, than is trying adjust XML, and than rename full folder). In this case initial VM still can be registered in VirtualBox (the same uids) and doesn't allow rename folder).

How to sort this - quick way:

  • Create seperate folder for initial VM
  • Follow instructions how to configure VM for vagrant
  • Once this is done run: vagrant package
  • Unregister VM from VirtualBox and unregister disks from VirtualBox
  • Make sure that any cmd.exe/shell is not related with this folder where initial VM has been created
  • Move initial folder to somewheere else
  • Vagrant up - will now be able create folder as before / rename without any issues.

Long term - solution:
IMHO - vagrant should not create previus path - just extract VMs to some internal path and then register VM. Also Main UUID for disk and VM - should be randomly generated during vagrant package command. Of course if this can be be done - didnt' check Oracle VirtualBox manual yet about UUID.

Hope that help.

The issue is I've never been able to reproduce this. I certainly believe this is a bug, I do. But if I can't reproduce it, there is zero change that I can fix it. I'll try @marcinpraczko's steps above.

@mitchellh , have you tried my steps (#1817)? I suspect it happens when the user has a non-standard Windows setup. For example, Program Files on second partition, as in my case. The fact that vagrant up fails when Windows Explorer has the VM folder open is a fair clue. Basically, it's clear vagrant up will rename the VM directory and machine file, in some cases. This won't work if something else (another process) has hold of that folder.

I apologize that I can't suggest code changes, but, not knowing Ruby, I haven't tried to look through the Vagrant code.

@rm-rf-etc
Copy link

Here's how I'm able to create it (running on OS X):

  1. Install VirtualBox
  2. Install Vagrant
  3. Download a manifest from puphpet.com (I'm using ubuntu precise64) to your desktop and extract there.
  4. cd ~/Desktop/precise64
  5. sudo vagrant up

Assuming this installs without errors, then do:

  1. vagrant destroy
  2. Download another manifest from puphpet.com, do previous steps same as before,
  3. see error on sudo vagrant up.

The previous solutions listed have not been applicable to me since I had already tried to uninstall vagrant and virtualbox and had removed relevant directories and files. The issue has been difficult to resolve. Once this happens, it renders vagrant completely unusable. I've tried removing VirtualBox and Vagrant, and all vagrant and virtual box directories I can find, but I have not yet been able to get a virtual machine working again.

I get the same error on a Win7 host with an FC18 guest where the VBOX and Vagrant folders are on an SSD.

If I change the "Default Machine Folder" (VirtualBox > File > Preferences), to a folder on a non-SSD drive, I do not get the exception and everything works correctly. We do have other host systems that use an SSD successfully, so it could be an SSD driver problem.

I suspect something to do with a write/delete race condition... I doubt very much the bug is in Vagrant. More likely a VirtualBox issue. I tried latest (.18) vbox as well as slightly older (.16). Error below is from vbox .16

Take extra caution to mind your VM states when pushing / pulling repos. Looks like my machine UUID was out of sync.

The only way to fix that is to remove the "devbase" (vagrant machine name) VM folder in the ~/VirtualBox VMs path. It seems that VBox does not remember this path as it doest show it with:

Hello, so I am experiencing the same problem now with Win7 64 bit and Vagrant 1.4.3 and VBox 4.3.6.

My experience was that a folder with the name it was trying to copy to DID exist in the virtual boxes folder (ie. the folder available from the virtual box 'show in explorer function). Probably deleting this folder would have deleted the box & allows me to create a new one - however I wanted to recover it.

After some false starts I was able to. These are the steps I took

  1. Ensure that it is visible in virtual box (if not then machine->add & browse to the vbox file)
  2. Ensure the uuid in the .vagrant\machines\default\virtualbox\id file (in %vagranthome$/yourboxname) matches the machine_uuid in the .vbox file in the folder for your machine the virtual boxes directory
  3. Closed all open directories / virtual box UI / stood on tippy toes, & enforced silence on anyone who might make my computer even start to think the folder was in use
  4. ran vagrant up as if I had never messed up by vagrant box in the first place

I DID delete the .vbox.tmp file in the virtual machine directory (although I don't know it helped). Pretty sure I didn't alter the vbox-prev file

I've tried setting all executables to "run as administrator" but that does nothing.

If you need a way to recreate my situation (which was having to troubleshoot some PHP 5.2 incompatibilities for the WordPress plugin I work for) then download this: https://github.com/tierra/wp-vagrant and simply follow their Getting Started instructions. I obviously get the error on step 5 after calling vagrant up.

Hope that helps, and thanks for all of your effort, talent and hard work put into this project. If I can get this working I may just dump my regular WAMP stack and become a Vagrant!

Perhaps Vagrant could try to catch this error and explain it a bit better... but I wouldn't call this an bug or an issue.

If you've got a folder with the same name as the one you are trying to create, that will obviously cause problems. VBoxManage doesn't want to blow away anything that might be living in the preexisting folder, so it fails. How would we want this handled differently?

oh I agree that you wouldn't want to overwrite an existing server instance... however in this case there was no previous folder because this error occurred during my first time running vagrant up... EVER!

I had JUST installed vagrant, and was attempting to set up my first box when I received the error. Don't think I should get a "folder already exists" error when attempting to create my first folder!

I had this issue because a previous machine with the name homestead had created a snapshots folder named homestead that did not get cleaned up when running vagrant destroy.

When trying to re-create the homestead machine I would get the error because a folder named homestead already existed. Not sure if this is because my machines are on a separate hard drive (E:/vmachines/) but I think vagrant destroy should have deleted that folder during cleanup. Manually deleting it fixed the problem for me.

Hello,

Perhaps before using vagrant you had a box calles "wordpress-php52" in
virtualbox gui.

Can you confirm?

I'm experiencing this issue as well. VirtualBox 4.3.15, vagrant 1.6.5 on Windows 7 64 Ultimate. When I set vb.name = "anything", if the anything folder already exists in my C:\Users\{user}\VirtualBox VMs folder during vagrant up it gives the error. It doesn't seem to matter if I run vagrant up, halt, up, or up, destroy, up, the outcome is the same.

Would it be possible to check for a specified name property, and if it exists, prompt the user and ask them if they mean to use the existing folder before Vagrant creates the default folder name which it then renames? If so then it could rename the existing folder to something like {existingName}-bak, create the default folder and rename it to the specified name, and then copy the relevant files from the backup folder to the new folder before removing the backup folder.

Hi all,

Thank you for responding on this ticket. This issue is almost 3 years old and a lot has changed in Vagrant since. It would be really fantastic if someone could open a new issue that uses the newest version of Vagrant and includes the Vagrantfile and debug output 😄

I think it's not an issue anymore...
I'm using:
VBox 5.0.2
Vagrant 1.7.4
Windows 10 x64

The Vagrant file I'm using is the genterated by:
vagrant init joomlatools/box

The "issue" only happens in vagrant up two times in sequence, this makes the VM unusable...

But if I use normally with vagrant up, then vagrant halt and then vagrant up there's no issue with this.

I had this same problem, I ran vagrant global-status and it said it was powered off.

I opened up Virtualbox and the machine was running, so I powered it off and ran vagrant up again.

And it fixed my problem :D

I had this problem working off of a vagrant config in a github repo. I'd installed the box months ago and tried to vagrant up recently, and got this problem.
Long story short the vagrant config was old and out of sync with the box image. I pulled latest from the github repo, rmraffed the Virtual box directory, removed the machine from the virtual box list, and ran vagrant up again - it worked.

open your virtual machine and increase the Ram size then try again. (or vagrant file enable vb.memory )
in Virtual Box. Try going to Settings -> System -> Motherboard on VirtualBox and change the RAM size.

I had the same problem. I opened VirtualBox and I tried to run the machine myself, and a suggestions poped up. I had other configurations for the 5.0 version (now I had 5.2). The only thing I had to do was run the command sudo vboxconfig and all was fixed!!!. I hope this will be able helpful!!

in my cases, this is happened when I try to add a USB passthrough to VM...
when I remove it, it start normally.
