I’ve opened an SSH tunnel to another machine so that I can access its mysql server, but my mac appears to be ignoring the port argument when I execute mysql. It always shows my local server, even when I give it a bogus port number:
$ mysql -P 52534
mysql >
Any idea what I’m doing wrong?
Without a host specified that usually gets ignored. If you need to connect to
localhost, it will always default to the local UNIX socket and not the TCP socket, so you’ll need to trick it out by connecting to host127.0.0.1.
