A quick point here – when using Rackspace’s servers to host your MySQL DB – you should use the private network to connect to your web servers and then you need to use this Plink method to connect via SSH to use Heidi SQL. If you do this then the settings need to be as follows:

On the Settings tab, enter the following:
Network Type: SSH Tunnel
Hostname/IP: IP Address of your internal network card (this is what MySQL should be bound to in my.cnf)
User: [CLOUD DATABASE USERNAME]
Password: [CLOUD DATABASE PASSWORD]
Port: 3306

On the SSH Tunnel tab, enter the following:
plink.exe location: Download plink.exe, and point this to it’s location
SSH Host + port: [CLOUD SERVER HOSTNAME or IP] Port 22
Username: [CLOUD SERVER SSH USERNAME]
Password: [CLOUD SERVER SSH PASSWORD]
Private Key File: Not needed, leave blank.
Local Port: 3307

Best regards

Phil
