[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Vagrant: "unable to connect to backend" error

[Mark Cyzyk]

All,

I am trying to duplicate our Archivesspace production app in a local 
Vagrant box.

I am getting an "unable to connect to backend" error when it boots.

I've checked to make sure the database is indeed present.

I've checked permissions for the "archivesspace" user to the 
"archivesspace" DB:

        MariaDB [archivesspace]> SHOW GRANTS for archivesspace at localhost;
        +----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
        | Grants for archivesspace at localhost |
        +----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
        | GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO `archivesspace`@`localhost` IDENTIFIED
        BY PASSWORD '*2C2611CEB83E695935FB2CA67F9EE3D56514F1CC' |
        | GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `archivesspace`.* TO
        `archivesspace`@`localhost` WITH GRANT
        OPTION                           |
        +----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
        2 rows in set (0.000 sec)

        MariaDB [archivesspace]>


Then I do same for 127.0.0.1:

        MariaDB [archivesspace]> SHOW GRANTS for archivesspace at 127.0.0.1;
        +----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
        | Grants for archivesspace at 127.0.0.1 |
        +----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
        | GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO `archivesspace`@`127.0.0.1` IDENTIFIED
        BY PASSWORD '*2C2611CEB83E695935FB2CA67F9EE3D56514F1CC' |
        | GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `archivesspace`.* TO
        `archivesspace`@`127.0.0.1` WITH GRANT
        OPTION                           |
        +----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
        2 rows in set (0.000 sec)

        MariaDB [archivesspace]>


I AM able to restore into the "archivesspace" database with:

        sudo mysql -u archivesspace -pREDACTED archivesspace <
        /vagrant/archivesspace_CURRENT.sql


The connect string in my config.rb file:

        AppConfig[:db_url] =
        "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/archivesspace?user=archivesspace&password=REDACTED&useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8"


And yet I get the "unable to connect to backend" error.  No fair!

Advice in previous posts down through the years suggested this was a 
permissions problem, or running MySQL on something other than 
localhost/127.0.0.1, but I think what I've done above rules this out.

Are there other reasons why I might be getting the "unable to connect to 
backend" error?

Advice appreciated!

Mark

PS: I don't think this is relevant to the connection issue, but here are 
the permissions I've set on the file system:

        vagrant at vagrant:/usr/share/archivesspace$ ls -la
