I am trying to secure the PhpMyAdmin to revoke accessing publicly. I tried following step 4 of this link Secure PhpMyAdmin. But when I try to connect it showing a warning that unable to forward to the remote host.

I have Apache server running on that port. I tried accessing one public Linux server to another but that also didn't work. I'm trying to access mac PC. Though it shouldn't be a problem about the platform of remote PC.

I was able to forward a port that didn't have anything running. but failed to start apache2 on that port after connecting.

Only root can use well known ports, or those between 0 and 1023. I am assuming (and you should not be) sshing into the machine as root. Try a much higher port, such as 8080.

/etc/ssh/sshd_config needs to allow for Port Forwarding, as well.
