The MediaWiki-Vagrant role that installs the Scholarships application [0] relies on name-based apache vhost configuration using the local.wmftest.net wildcard introduced in Ifc752ac89bbfa1c793d37917b099b0c98dc38a5a. Change Ic0ce64841dce4e8875ed715caf9b152375c54d91 reverted the DNS configuration that supported this feature. Discussion on irc determined that this regression was unintentional and should be corrected. [0]: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimania_Scholarships_app/Developing_using_Vagrant
Until the DNS entry is restored, it is possible to continue local development by adding a local hostname override on the developer's machine. Add the following to the local hosts file: 127.0.0.1 scholarships.local.wmftest.net For unix systems the hosts file is typically /etc/hosts. See [[en:Hosts_(file)]] for the file path on other systems.
