[FIXED] Vagrant on Windows 7 64bit: Could not match ? at /tmp/vagrant-puppet/manifests/default.pp:2 on node lucid32.hsd1.ca.comcast.net

Issue

Attempting to Boot and provision a LAMP VM with Vagrant and Virtual box running on a Windows 7 64 bit host. But am getting the error message:

Could not match ? at /tmp/vagrant-puppet/manifests/default.pp:2 on node lucid32.hsd1.ca.comcast.net.

Searches don't find any helpful clues - they are unrelated to using Vagrant and discuss completely different scenarios.

The following SSH command responded with a non-zero exit status.
Vagrant assumes that this means the command failed!

cd /tmp/vagrant-puppet/manifests && puppet apply /tmp/vagrant-puppet/manifests/default.pp --detailed-exitcodes || [ $? -eq 2 ]

(A sub question, out of curiosity is: What is lucid32.hsd1.ca.comcast.net ?! This looks like a valid URL (but doesn't actually work (404)) - So what's it for?)

My setup:

• Windows 7 64 bit
• Installed VirtualBox
• Installed Vagrant
• Installed Puppet: https://downloads.puppetlabs.com/windows/
• Installed Ruby: http://rubyinstaller.org/

Issued command:

vagrant box add base http://files.vagrantup.com/lucid32.box

Then attempted to setup a LAMP VM in a Windows 7 64 bit host based on: http://ox86.tumblr.com/post/23734821654/painless-development-environments-with-virtualbox

...as follows:

mkdir lamp-project
cd lamp-project
C:\Users\rdavis\lamp-project>mkdir configs
C:\Users\rdavis\lamp-project>mkdir manifests
C:\Users\rdavis\lamp-project>vagrant init

Edited Vagrantfile inserted the following directly after Vagrant::Config.run do |config|

config.vm.box = “lucid32”
config.vm.provision :puppet do |puppet|
   puppet.manifests_path = File.expand_path(“../manifests”, __FILE__)
end
config.vm.forward_port 80, 8080
config.vm.share_folder “configs”, “/configs”, File.expand_path(“../configs”, __FILE__)

Then created a default.pp puppet file (again, from reference 1 ) and put in the manifests folder as that reference 1 instructs

$config_path = "/configs”
$vagrant_base_path = "/vagrant”
Exec { path => "/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin” }
group { "puppet”: ensure => present }
exec { "apt-get update”: command => "apt-get update” }
class apache {
    file { "/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default":
        ensure => file,
        source => "${config_path}/000-default",
        before => Service["apache2"],
    }
    exec { "enable-mod_rewrite":
        require => Package["apache2"],
        before => Service["apache2"],
        command => "/usr/sbin/a2enmod rewrite"
    }
    package { "apache2":
        ensure => present,
        before => File["/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default"],
    }

    service { "apache2":
        ensure => running,
        require => Package["apache2"]
    }
}
class php {
    package { "libapache2-mod-php5": ensure => present }
    package { "php5": ensure => present }
    package { "php5-cli": ensure => present }
    package { "php5-dev": ensure => present }
    package { "php5-mysql": ensure => present }
    package { "php-pear": ensure => present }
    exec { "pear upgrade":
        command => "/usr/bin/pear upgrade",
require => Package["php-pear"],
    }
}
class mysql {
  package { "mysql-server":
    require => Exec["apt-get update"],
    ensure => present,
  }
  service { "mysql":
    enable => true,
    ensure => running,
    require => Package["mysql-server"],
  }
  exec { "Set MySQL server root password":
        require => Package["mysql-server"],
        unless => "/usr/bin/mysqladmin -uroot -proot status",
        command => "/usr/bin/mysqladmin -uroot password root",
  }
}
