Answer 1

I got resolved the same problem using the following steps.

1. run the blt sync with -v blt sync -vvv
2. Which will help you to find the cause of the error,

In my case, it was permission for the recipe settings.php file.

So I have to run the chmod command outside the box, then ssh into the box, delete the database and ran the blt acsf:init

After all these I ran the blt sync its worked fine. Hope this will be helpful for those facing the same issue. :)
