Hello,
I have a MySQL account that only accepts connections from localhost for
security reasons. I wish to use a local Windows GUI client with the remote
MySQL database.
I setup SecureCRT (my Windows SSH client) to forward local port 9999 to
remote port 3306. I try telnetting to localhost 9999 and see:
-
3.23.24-betaBI*2\Y*b,
which indicates that the tunnel appears to be setup correctly.
Now, I go to MySQL GUI, set Server host name to "localhost" and port
number to "9999". I set the username on the Client tag. Then I connect but
I get the following error message:
Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)
Does anyone know what I did wrong?
Thanks,
