Apache service not running on vagrant up with CentOS 6

[christopher-hopper]

Problem

The Apache daemon (httpd) does not start on boot using vagrant up with a CentOS 6 Vlad box.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Boot into an Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host

2. Download and Install Vlad and VirtualBox 4.3.36

3. Follow the Getting Started instructions with VirtualBox as your virtual machine provider

4. Set the vlad_os to centos67 in the Vlad settings file vlad_guts/vlad_settings.yml

   vlad_os: "centos67"

5. Run vagrant up

6. Once vagrant has finished successfully run vagrant ssh

7. At the command line check the status of the Apache daemon

   sudo service httpd status

Expected Result

The Apache daemon is running.

Actual Result

The Apache daemon is not running. This is what I see:

# sudo service httpd status
httpd is stopped

I also get this output from vagrant, which indicates the vlad local_up_services playbook fails.

I've tried running this ansible playbook manually, but it doesn't work, even though I can ssh to the server manually. This works:

ssh -i ~/.vagrant.d/insecure_private_key vagrant@192.168.100.120
Last login: Tue Apr 12 04:22:04 2016 from 10.0.2.2

This fails:

I need help with this one. For now, I've been manually starting the Apache daemon when I bring the box up using:

sudo service httpd start

Not sure how to solve this. Help Wanted

Not sure if this is relevant, but I also notice this failure happens earlier when running playbooks/local_up.yml for TASK [local actions | check that ~/.ssh/config exists on host machine]
