helo,

I was following the guide in [https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/VAGRANT.md](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/VAGRANT.md) and I’m running into a couple of issues:

1. Can someone update the vagrant VM listed in the guide above? I install the latest version of visual box and the tools. I get an error that it has a different version of the tools than the host and fails to finish. I can still ssh and update the box but, as a new person exposed to this steps this can be confusing.

2. From my understanding this VM tries to mount the local shared where you git cloned the discourse code and ran ‘vagrant up’ from. This failed still even after updating and restarting the VM. I went to the settings in virtualbox and it looks like the auto-mount is off and mounts to /media instead of /vagrant from what I understood the steps in the guide.

3. The git clone never shows up in /vagrant and I had to do another git clone inside the VM to be able to follow the steps and chown /vagrant to the vagrant user as its owned by root. After that the rest of the steps work 🙂

Please let me know If I made a mistake or took a wrong turn 🙂 I’m loving discourse so far. Also with permission I can update the guide posted above and do a PR request if no problems.
