I'm trying to connect MYSQL WorkBench to a db on digitalocean droplet.
I follow the link:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-connect-to-a-mysql-server-remotely-with-mysql-workbench
But still getting the following error:
Failed to Connect to MySQL at localhost:3306 through SSH tunnel at root#xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx with user root
Cannot open SSH Tunnel: Connection refused
Upload your SSH key to gain access
I know this question was already asked before (like here), but still I could not find a solution and those posts are quite old.
So I am able to connect to the remote db with an ssh connection and then use the command line like this:
// Putty SSH Connection
host: ssh.strato.de
port: 22
username: xxxxxxx
password: xxxxxxx
// connect to mysql with terminal
mysql -h rdbms -u xxxxxxx -p xxxxxxxx
If I try the same with ssh-tunneling in DBeaver I get an connection error
The ssh-tunneling itself seems to work. If I use the same credentials as above and press "Test tunnel configuration" I get a success message.
I tried several other options for port and host (localhost, rdbms.strato.de, etc), which I found via mysql show variables; show processlist; show user();, but none of them worked.
The Strato Support told me that I can only connect to the db internally with phpmyadmin or remotely wiht putty and mysql, but since the last method is working, shouldn't ssh-tunneling also work?
Dbeaver - Database connection using SSH Tunnel
Open dbeaver
Click on "New Database Connection", in the following "main" window enter the MySQL server host relative to the SSH server, and MySQL running port, my setting is default (localhost, 3306)
specify MySQL user to connect with and user password.
In the "SSH" part, specify the SSH host, port, user also the authentication method used, like SSH private key
Test connection and use.
On shared hosting setups (e.g. IONOS) there might be a restriction when trying to connect to MySQL from external client

I have an AWS Lightsail instance running the Bitnami configuration for Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS and PHP7.
I can connect the the MySQL database using phpMyAdmin on the server via an SSH Tunnel. But when I try to configure DataGrip for SSH access to the database I receive the error message "Host '127.0.0.1' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server".
When I remove "localhost" from the host field of the General tab then I receive the error "ExecutionException: SSH: Unable to find host/port in URL".
The following test and response appears to show a successful connection to the port:
cat < /dev/tcp/###.###.###.###/22
SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_7.2p2 Ubuntu-4ubuntu2.6
I'm using keypair auth. Both the user name and the Private key file are the same used for the ssh tunnel when running phpMyAdmin.
Not sure what to try next. Any help appreciated.
I have a java project which connects to a MySQL database. Earlier it was working fine, but I think I messed up some of the configuration settings when trying to connect not via localhost. After messing around for hours and not making any progress (including completely reinstalling MySQL onto my mac and pc ( I was trying to connect these) ) I have given up and now am thinking of using some other database software like Postgre. Will the same error come up since its to do with not being able to connect as the server is not running?
The error at the moment is:
Your connection attempt failed for user 'root' from your host to server at 127.0.0.1:3306:
Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost' (using password: YES)
Please:
Check that mysql is running on server 127.0.0.1
Check that mysql is running on port 3306 (note: 3306 is the default, but this can be changed)
Check the root has rights to connect to 127.0.0.1 from your address (mysql rights define what clients can connect to the server and from which machines)
Make sure you are both providing a password if needed and using the correct password for 127.0.0.1 connecting from the host address you're connecting from
Every time I try to connect to my mySQL on mysql workbench, it gives me this error message saying:
Your connection attempted failed for user 'root' from your host to server at http:x.x.x.x:3306: Cannot open SSH Tunnel:Error connecting SSH tunnel:Error Connecting to SSH server Error 11004 get addrinfo failed
I think you could get solution here: http://quintagroup.com/services/support/tutorials/mysql-linux
or follow this steps:
Open putty and accept the certificate of the server
hostname should be localhost ( in order to use local socket and not http conection)
local port should be something like 33010 not 3306
local port is the conection back port used by the plink and has nothing to do with mysql ports
