Re: SSH tunnels and non root accounts get the server service or the configuration file could not be found
In my email I state quite clearly that tunnel is working with the root account so it's not a matter of ports. The error message shows that is trying to get some configuration from the user account that is not working. Under root account I have found a file called .my.cnf with a [client] entry as I said.

Re: SSH tunnels and non root accounts get the server service or the configuration file could not be found
Miguel, Probably your non-root user is connecting as the anonymous account. Try this: Connect as your (problematic) non-root account and do this: mysql SELECT USER(); mysql SELECT CURRENT_USER(); What do you see? If it's as I imagine you should see different values and so just delete the anonymous user from mysql.user table.

Re: SSH tunnels and non root accounts get the server service or the configuration file could not be found
I'm confused. Where should I issue those commands? I have connected in the linux box with that user and when I start the mysql client I issue those commands and I get the same result. Do I have to issue those commands (where?) in the mysql administrator? When I log in through the mysql administrator I get the username correctly.

Re: SSH tunnels and non root accounts get the server service or the configuration file could not be found
Hi Miguel, I'm confused. Where should I issue those commands? Yes from the MySQL Administrator. From what you say it seems that you end up being authenticated as the ''@'localhost' user. Connect again with the MySQL Administrator and the non-root account and issue: mysql SHOW GRANTS; What user do you see after: 'Grants for ' ? Cheers -- Claudio

Re: SSH tunnels and non root accounts get the server service or the configuration file could not be found
Your windows-based client never sees the files on the linux server. All the tunnel provides is the ability to treat port 3306 of your linux box as-if it was a port local to your windows system. It does not, can not make file access transparent across those systems.

If you are tunneling port 3306 to your local machine, you need to have mysql listen on the local port. what ever port is being used on your local computer to operate the tunnel to port 3306 remotely is the port you will use for mysql locally.
