title: What is the configuration for setting up MySQL workbench with a AWS Bitnami instance?
body: <p>I am some issue with connecting the pipes between MySQL Workbench and my Bitnami Wordpress instance on AWS (using ssh). I have read and attempted the docs several times, I don't know what is going on. </p>
  
  <p>I have successfully ssh-ed via the command line using <code>ssh -i my_key_file bitnami@IP-Address</code>.</p>
  
  <p>However, I cannot get it to work for MySQL Workbench. </p>
  
  <pre><code>Field             Value
  </code></pre>
  
  
  
  <pre><code>SSH Hostname        IP-Address   
  SSH Username        bitnami
  SSH Key File        &lt;path-to-key-file&gt;   
  MySQL Hostname      127.0.0.1   
  MySQL Server Port   3306   
  MySQL username      root
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The path to key-file is correct as it works for other AWS instances. And the <code>SSH hostname</code> and <code>SSH username</code> get my access via the terminal - so I would assume these are fine?</p>
  
  <p>When I test the connection, I am prompted for a password. Everywhere online suggests that this password is the admin password used the Wordpress account (accessible via the system logs). I have this password. However, this doesn't get me in. </p>
  
  <p>The attempted connection returns the error: <strong>Failed to Connect to MySQL at 127.0.0.1:3306 through SSH tunnel at bitnami@IP-Address with user root</strong></p>
  
  <p>Any help would be appreciated</p>
