Since homestead 2.0 homestead laravel has not been working
I don't know why 'homestead init' creates a Homestead.yaml file in mydirectory/.homestead
and not in the project directory. Homestead up OR Vagrant up create the following message
A VirtualBox machine with the name 'homestead' already exists.
Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider...
==> default: Importing base box 'laravel/homestead'...
==> default: Matching MAC address for NAT networking...
==> default: Checking if box 'laravel/homestead' is up to date...
A VirtualBox machine with the name 'homestead' already exists.
Please use another name or delete the machine with the existing
name, and try again.

I solved by using
vboxmanage
to get the ID of the VM.Copy the ID of the desired VM (the
c700…db18
string) into the contents of~/.vagrant/machines/default/virtualbox/id
. Save the file then runvagrant up
to get the vm working without having to destroy it.
