Vagrant: "vagrant up" doesn't work in v1.8.1: `block in in_addr': zero-filled number in IPv4 address is ambiguous (IPAddr::InvalidAddressError)

[spektom]

After upgrading to version 1.8.1 vagrant up wont work anymore:

Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider...
==> default: Importing base box 'deb/wheezy-amd64'...
==> default: Matching MAC address for NAT networking...
==> default: Checking if box 'deb/wheezy-amd64' is up to date...
==> default: Setting the name of the VM: CodingWithAppsflyer-201501
==> default: Clearing any previously set forwarded ports...
==> default: Auto-generating node name for Chef...
==> default: Clearing any previously set network interfaces...
==> default: Destroying VM and associated drives...

My Vagrantfile looks as follows:

Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|
  config.vm.box = "deb/wheezy-amd64"
  config.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.01.16"

  config.vm.synced_folder ".", "/vagrant", disabled: true
  config.vm.synced_folder "../projects", "/projects"

  config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
    vb.name = "CodingWithAppsflyer-201501"
    vb.gui = false
    vb.memory = "4096"
    vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--nictype1", "virtio"]
  end

  config.vm.provision "chef_solo" do |chef|
    chef.add_recipe "system"
    chef.add_recipe "rethinkdb"
    chef.add_recipe "nodejs"
    chef.add_recipe "projects" 
  end
end

We've just figured out the IP address in Vagrantfile has a typo: 192.168.01.15 (leading zero in the third octet). Not really a bug, so closing it.

[azhararmar]

I did this same stupid mistake and realized it after seeing this thread, thank you.

[melekin]

Thank you, me too

[RafalSkolasinski]

Sad to say but I did the same just now...
Maybe it would be good idea to add some warning/information from vagrant what went wrong?
