Help! My codeup.dev isn't working!

In general there are several things to look at if you cannot access your files through codeup.dev:

1. Is your vagrant server running?

   I.e. what is the output of this code

   cd ~/vagrant-lamp
   vagrant status

   If it is not running go ahead and turn it on with a

   vagrant up

2. Are your files in the right place?

   Is the file you are trying to access in ~/vagrant-lamp/sites/codeup.dev/public?

   Remember that any files we want to accesss through codeup.dev must be in the public folder.

   Try this, and you should see the name of the file you are trying to access:

   cd ~/vagrant-lamp/sites/codeup.dev/public
   ls

3. If the above steps don't work please shoot us an email (instructors@codeup.com) with more information, specifically,

   1. can you access other sites on codeup.dev? E.g. can you go to codeup.dev/hello_world.html and see your hello world page?
   2. If you got any errors when running vagrant commands please send us the error message you get.
