Chef::Exception::ChildConvergeError

[jasperboyd]

Followed the instructions per readme, everything was going well until this popped up. I'm on a Macbook Pro running Mavericks (latest update) if that information is useful.

I'm not familiar with chef so I haven't the faintest on this one. I found this repo when looking for a laravel specific vagrantfil because mine was resulting in vagrant giving time out errors

Im getting the same error here - did you manage to solve this? Why the f is it trying to run IIS? Why is it installing IIS? Where is that coming from?

[jasperboyd]

I don't have the faintest clue, I'm not knowledgeable enough with vagrant or Chef to have any idea. I ended up setting up the project I was working on with this and didn't have any trouble: https://github.com/bryannielsen/Laravel4-Vagrant

I went back to this tool in the end: https://puphpet.com

I was having the same error, fixed it by adding git repo address to Redisio.
