VisualizaçõesConnect to remote MSSQL server with PHP through SSH tunnel
Firewalled MS SQL server wants to supply data to Ubuntu server on the internet.
So I establish an SSH tunnel from the MS SQL server to Ubuntu server, asking Ubuntu to send its port 1433 traffic to MS SQL's port 1433.
According to this Stack Overflow answer, I think I should be doing this on the MS SQL server:
ssh -R 1433:localhost:1433 ubuntu.example.com
It's a Windows machine, so I did this in PuTTY:
In the local network, I've tested using PHP to connect to the SQL server and it works.
$server = '192.168.0.12';
$user = 'buttle';
$pass = '1234';
mssql_connect($server,$user,$pass);
Now I want to try connecting the same two machines using an SSH tunnel instead of "direct" connection. So I change $server to this:
$server = 'localhost,1433';
And then I connect an SSH tunnel from the SQL Server machine to the Ubuntu machine with PuTTy. And perhaps this is where I'm going wrong, because I don't know what I'm doing.
I'm getting this PHP error on the Ubuntu machine:
Warning: mssql_connect(): Unable to connect to server: localhost,1433
EDIT:
Also tried this:
And this:

FINALLY, I have solved it. See my answer.

All of the online tutorials for using PHP's mssql functions assume you are running PHP in a Windows environment. Apparently, in Windows, IP and Port Number are separated by a comma, but in Linux by a colon.
// Linux running PHP
$server = 'localhost:1433';
// Windows running PHP
$server = 'localhost,1433';
As usual, hours of problems boil down to a single byte.
