I am having difficulty connecting to MYSQL database using Ubuntu server with Drupal application using SSH. I guess I’m not sure of the settings to put into the config screen.
SSH Hostname: my ip address SSH Username: root SSH Password: my server root pw SSH Password: Linked to putty key MySQL Hostname: 127.0.0.1 MySQL Server Port: 3306 Username: root password:MySQL pw
This does not let me in. Any suggestions? Ideas? I would like an easier way to access the databases without using terminal.
Also had trouble installing phpmyadmin on this pre-configured server.
Thanks, Mike

I tried the above steps and not working for me. The steps I followed are as follows:
- Open puttygen
- Load private key
- Go to conversions
- Click Export OpenSSH key
- Once prompted save the key as private_key.ppk
- In workbench use the this key and try logging in.
In step 5 Instead of saving as private_key.ppk, I even tried to save without .ppk extension. Both did not work. is there anything I am missing here. Thanks!
I have been searching for hours and kamaln7’s suggestion worked! Thank you very much!
