Aerospike service unrecognized in Vagrant centos-6.5 on OSX 10.8.5

After installing Vagrant and and creating aerospike box with

$ vagrant init aerospike/centos-6.5
$ vagrant up
$ vagrant ssh

Inside the VM, I typed

$ sudo service aerospike start

And I got aerospike: unrecognized service

I checked the VM with service --status-all and no aerospike was found.

Hi Jo,

Could you ensure that the folder were you are running the vagrant init and vagrant up is empty. Please see this demo: http://showterm.io/60962c06d65abe6b2c9a3#slow

Also please run and post the following commands:

vagrant box list

I was able to run the following on a macbook:

l

luciens-mbp:Development lucien$ mkdir vagrant-test
luciens-mbp:Development lucien$ cd vagrant-test
luciens-mbp:vagrant-test lucien$ vagrant init aerospike/centos-6.5
A `Vagrantfile` has been placed in this directory. You are now
ready to `vagrant up` your first virtual environment! Please read

It worked! Can I ask for an explanation on why the empty directory?

My guess is you either have an old Vagrantfile in the other directory. Or also there is a hidden .vagrant that might have kept a previous state.

luciens-mbp:vagrant_test3 lucien$ ls -al

drwxr-xr-x  4 lucien  staff   136 Oct 16 18:57 .

Its always safer to start fresh.
