Vagrant: How to Fix "Error 60 / SSL read"?

less than a minute of reading

Vagrant is a great tool to manage your development environments. Recently I wanted to add a new box with Homestead to start working on another Laravel project but I was unable to download the box, due to enigmatic error 60. Let me show you how to fix this issue.

To add a new box, I opened Terminal and typed:

vagrant box add laravel/homestead

Several seconds after downloading began, the following error was thrown interrupting the entire process.

The Fix

Open Terminal and go to your home directory

cd ~

Now to go:

cd .vagrant.d/tmp/

This directory contains a temporary file that has been created when you tried to add a new box for the first time. Remove it:

rm -rf ~/.vagrant.d/tmp/

and try again but this time add additional parameter:

vagrant box add --insecure laravel/homestead

Download should start normally and finish without any interruptions.
