[Labs-l] Unable to access MW vagrant instance via proxy

[Huji Lee]

Sorry, but that did not work either:

~$ mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -u wikiadmin -pwikipassword
ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1' (111)

For the record, the my.cnf file looks like http://pastebin.com/SpkNuLEP and
the /run/mysqld directory is empty as shown below:

$ ls -a /run/mysqld/
.  ..
