I’ve been manually creating my tunnels for the same connections over and over again for the longest time. It gets old. I just realized Putty can do this for me. You must remember to go back to the main Session page to click “save” since there isn’t a save button on all pages–do this prior to opening a session. The follow up pic is of a typical MySQL Administrator setup to use with the tunnel.
If you’ve ever needed to host your files for a site in a subfolder such as “public_html/mysubfolder/” as if it were “public_html/” so that your URL displayed is (for example) “http://www.epiphanydigital.com/” instead of “http://www.epiphanydigital.com/mysubfolder”, then you may want to try something like the following htaccess black magic:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^$ /mysubfolder/ [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/mysubfolder/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /mysubfolder/$1
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^epiphanydigital.com/(.*[^/])$ http://www.epiphanydigital.com/$1/ [R=301]
Now, a better way is to just modify your VirtualHost record directory on a site by site basis, but if you’re like me and you’re on a shared host, you just don’t have access to do this. An .htaccess rewrite rule will cost slightly more overhead than a VirtualHost record.

Thank you for visiting this site. The web fairy will visit you in your sleep... you know, I was going somewhere with this, but it really doesn't have as much innocent charm as the tooth fairy, especially when I picture the web fairy as someone much like the Simpsons' Comic Book Guy but with wings. It's just not something I want.
