title: Unable to access server database schemas in mySQL Workbench
body: <p>So I'm working in a team and my computer in particular is running into issues that other people's computers aren't running into, so none of us know how to diagnose the issue. I am running on a Mac with El Capitan. These are the steps I took to connect and access the server database:</p>
  
  <p>SSH into server's terminal:
  <code>ssh -i ~/.ssh/your_private_key username@serverIP</code></p>
  
  <p>Port forwarding through ssh:
  <code>ssh -L 3306:localhost:3306 -i ~/.ssh/your_private_key username@serverIP</code></p>
  
  <p>Error: <code>bind: Address already in use</code>
  I go into System Preferences > mySQL > stop mySQL server instance</p>
  
  <p>I go into mySQL workbench and choose connection method <code>Standard TCP/IP over SSH</code></p>
  
  <p>Enter in all the information and clicked Test Connection and get this popup message:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Information related to this connection:</p>
    
    <p>Host: 127.0.0.1 Port: 3306 User: [username here] SSL: not enabled</p>
    
    <p>A successful MySQL connection was made with the parameters defined for
    this connection.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>My team members were able to see all the database tables that they worked on under the schemas section, but my Schema section shows nothing. What am I missing and why can I not see the schemas despite getting a successful connection message?</p>
