How To Login To MySQL via TUX
IMPORTANT!: MySQL needs to be requested by the professor BEFORE the start of the term. We don't have a mechanism to create MySQL accounts for individual students on Tux or bvm25.
URL for MySQL Host: bvm25.cci.drexel.edu
URL for Tux (SSH Host): tux.cs.drexel.edu
Before you continue, make sure that you are connected to Drexel’s VPN. If you do not know how to connect to Drexel’s VPN, please click on the link below for instructions: https://support.cci.drexel.edu/getting-connected/vpn/
If you are having problems connecting to MySQL, you should first make sure you can log in to Tux following the directions at Connecting to Tux. Tux connections use your Drexel username and password. This is used for the SSH Password as shown in the screen shot below.
The MySQL password is sent by encrypted email by by Brian Bijeau. Use it to connect to your MySQL database as shown in the screen shot below.
If you are using WorkBench, make sure that the “Default Schema” fits what the screenshot shows, BUT replace “mjg88” with your Drexel ID (abc123).
If you are using Sequel Pro, make sure that the “Database” fits what the screenshot shows, BUT replace “mjg88” with your Drexel ID (abc123).
Please try to manually type in your MySQL and Tux password 2-3 times before moving forward with the instructions.
If you do not know your MySQL password because you didn’t receive an email, please email ihelp@drexel.edu using your Drexel email.
If you are still having trouble connecting to MySQL, please refer to Brian Bijeau’s email for instructions or follow instructions given by your instructor.
If the above examples do not help, please email ihelp@drexel.edu
