Vagrant VM is up, but there is no response on https://localhost:8443

You're not really giving us much to go on. What does the Vagrantfile look like?

I am following instructions from - http://graphite.readthedocs.org/en/latest/install-synthesize.html

The Vagrant file is below. This is the default vagrant file that is checked in to the graphite-web git repository.

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

$requirements = <<-eos

VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION = "2"

Vagrant.configure(VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION) do |config|
  config.vm.box = "ubuntu/trusty64"
  config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 2003, host: 2003
  config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 2004, host: 2004
  config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 7002, host: 7002
  config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 8080, host: 8080
  config.vm.provision "shell", inline: $requirements
end

I think I see the problem here. The VM does not have graphite-web installed in it and the port forwards in the Vagrantfile do not include port 8443. Does anyone have the right Vagrantfile for setting up Graphite?

That's not the Vagrantfile that the install doc links to. The Vagrantfile in the graphite-web repo is not the same as the one in the Synthesize project.

Thank you. I didn't realize that synthesize is not included in the VM and I didn't realize that it is a separate project altogether. I assumed that the script was a part of graphite-web. When I saw the Vagrantfile in graphite-web, I assumed that it will create a VM for me with graphite-web and all related dependencies installed.

Perhaps this link can have a of statements that says something like, "clone the Synthesize repository and run 'vagrant up' from the synthesize project".

http://graphite.readthedocs.org/en/latest/install-synthesize.html

I think that the doc is pretty straightforward as long as you follow the directions and not run off and run random stuff. ;-)

If there were any improvements to be made, I would say that it should include *less* documentation, not more. It really should just point to the external project and not try to duplicate the documentation already on the Synthesize project page. Not the least of which is because the two could easily get out of sync when I make changes to Synthesize.

Thank you. This will avoid confusion. If possible, please build a vagrantfile that will actually deploy a functional graphite web implementation. I've spent several hours trying to get graphite web to install properly while following documentation and I still do not have it working. I see that this is a great product otherwise. Please make it easier to install.

FYI I've removed the Vagrantfile from the graphite-web repo.
