Apparently, you can get this error for a number of reasons . The obvious one is that you don’t have AllowTCPForwarding set in your sshd_config. A less obvious but probably more common one—which bit me earlier today, which is why I write this—is that you’ve misspelled a host name. To wit, this:
ssh example.com -L8000:locahost:80
…is not the same as:
ssh example.com -L8000:localhost:80
(Discussing this with my colleagues prompted a joke about living “La Vida Local.” Finally, a Ricky Martin song for shut-ins.)

My final four is Bershire Hathaway, Barack Obama, Mitsubishi (in a classic over the Queen of England), and the Fed. Berkshire beats Mitsubishi, unless the yen loses favor in the carry trade.
(Obama is an 8 seed? The mid-major parties get no respect.)
