'A Vagrant environment or target machine is required

I am trying to set up homestead. I have tried to add new custom domain but I forgot that I have to run the command vagrant provision and I got an error, so I have decided to uninstall Vagrant VirtualBox and start from scratch but I have realy messed the things up.

Now I have installed VirtualBox, Vagrant. I have cloned the repository of homestead on my home directory. I filled the Homestead.yaml but when I start with vagrant up I get this error

A Vagrant environment or target machine is required to run this command. Run vagrant init to create a new Vagrant environment. Or, get an ID of a target machine from vagrant global-status to run this command on. A final option is to change to a directory with a Vagrantfile and to try again. Also I have tried to require homestead through composer but I`am still getting the same error.

When I try with vagrant init a new box is created and when I start vagrant up I am not in the homestead box but in the one that I last created.

I am really confused and I don`t know what I am missing. Any help will be appreciated.

edit.

Also when I try with homestead up, the virtual machine is running and I am able to connect through ssh but when I type custom domains I get "No input file specified."

update:

In the ~/.homestead directory I have executed vagrant init laravel/homestead and now I can start the the machine and to connect through ssh but I can`t go to a registered custom domain - the page is not available.

Update 2:

Also I just checked and on the homestead server my Code folder is empty. In the Homestead.yamlfile I have folders - map: ~/Code to: /home/vagrant/Code

All my projects are there in the local folder and I have no idea why they are not on vagrant.

99% you're in wrong directory. Make sure that the directory includes Vagrantfile.

Solution 2:[2]

Can you run vagrant global-status to see if there is already a Vagrant server running? Then you can use vagrant up [server-id] to get into the existing one.

As someone said earlier, you could be in the wrong directory. Actually going to the right directory containing the 'Vagrantfile' was all that solved my problem.

Did you add your custom domains to your Homestead.yaml file in the sites section and run `vagrant provision

Before trying anything else make sure you are in the correct directory. I mean, vagrantfile must be present in the directory. I was able to fix it by

  1. One vagrant server was already running in my case. vagrant global-status helped me to see it.
  2. Then I used vagrant up [server-id] to get into the existing one.
