I'm running version 2.0.8 and when I check it in ssh, hvmm exists and is running.

You might need to just create a new vm.

There is some info about upgrading a existing vm at the bottom of https://mattstauffer.co/blog/introducing-laravel-homestead-2.0 I haven't tried it yet, but might be informative.

I have the same issue and i created new vm.

Vagrant version: 1.7.2

Homestead version: 2.0.13

Vagrant box version: laravel/homestead (virtualbox, 0.2.4)

Thanks for your replies!

Just a little update:

I ran service --status-all to get a list of all services, and hhvm is not included.

Do you think I should install hhvm manually, or is this not recommended?

@revati: please let me know, if you got it to work, thanks!

same here, homestead doesn't have hhvm in it... any fixes?

This worked for me.

# Prebuilt packages on Ubuntu 14.10

# installs add-apt-repository
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common

sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 0x5a16e7281be7a449
sudo add-apt-repository 'deb http://dl.hhvm.com/ubuntu utopic main'
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install hhvm

-- from https://github.com/facebook/hhvm/wiki/Prebuilt-Packages-for-HHVM

Thank you so much! I finally got it to work after getting a blank page at first with hhvm enabled.

The solution was to make the "storage" directory of laravel writeable on the local machine (not on the vm)

sudo chmod -R 777 /your/path/to/laravel/storage

Then I provisioned, and it worked!

Thanks again to @TerrePorter and @revati!

I just updated the laravel/homestead box and hhvm seems to work out of the box now:

https://vagrantcloud.com/laravel/boxes/homestead/versions/0.2.5

I checked by destroying my box and hhvm was running.

I solved performing the following steps:

wget -O - http://dl.hhvm.com/conf/hhvm.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add - echo deb http://dl.hhvm.com/ubuntu trusty main | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hhvm.list sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install hhvm

Still having trouble with:

==> default: hhvm: unrecognized service

Running version 0.2.7 of the Vagrant box.

Is it supposed to work as of 0.2.5 or are people still having this issue?
