Permission denied @ rb_sysopen - .vagrant.d/tmp/hosts.local

[tovletoglou]

On a Windows system, runing the vagrant up, I'm getting the error:

C:/Users/USER/.vagrant.d/gems/2.2.5/gems/vagrant-hostmanager-1.8.6/lib/vagrant-hostmanager/hosts_file/updater.rb:85:in `initialize': Permission denied @ rb_sysopen - C:/Users/USER/.vagrant.d/tmp/hosts.local (Errno::EACCES)

Checking the file C:/Users/USER/.vagrant.d/tmp/hosts.local and it's read-only.

Then run the vagrant up again:

C:/HashiCorp/Vagrant/embedded/lib/ruby/2.2.0/fileutils.rb:1392:in `initialize': Permission denied @ rb_sysopen - C:/Users/USER/.vagrant.d/tmp/hosts.local (Errno::EACCES)

Example Vagrantfile

# -*- mode: ruby -*-
# vi: set ft=ruby :

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.vm.provider 'virtualbox' do |vb|
    vb.gui = false
    vb.memory = '1024'
    vb.cpus = 1
  end
  config.vm.box = 'centos/7'
  config.vm.synced_folder '.',
                          '/vagrant',
                          type: 'vboxsf',
                          disabled: true
  config.vm.hostname = "my_hostname"
  config.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.33.10"
  config.hostmanager.enabled = true
  config.hostmanager.manage_host = true
  config.hostmanager.manage_guest = true
  config.hostmanager.ignore_private_ip = false
  config.hostmanager.include_offline = true
end

System:
Windows 10
Vagrant 1.9.3
vagrant-hostmanager 1.8.6

I removed "read-only" attribute frome the hosts file and it worked for me.
But I think that it is temporary solution and things should work without it.

This was my workaround which I am currently using successfully (so far!):

1. don't use the plugin host updater.

vagrant plugin list
vagrant plugin uninstall

2. Make sure your user without elevating privileges have access to read
   write to:
   C:/Windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts
