Connecting MindsDB to local MySQL Database

[flexicutioner]

Hello all,

I am unable to connect a local MySQL server to my installation of MindsDB. I am getting the error "Can't connect to db: 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1:3306' (111)"

For reference, I have installed the MindsDB Lightwood distribution through Docker. I have also verified that the MySQL instance in question is indeed running on the machine. I have verified that the login information and database field are all correct.

Thanks for the help!

Hey @flexicutioner note that the localhost in the container is not the same as in your machine. Are you running MySQL with docker too?

I am not running MySQL with docker, so that sounds like the issue. Thanks for the help!
