Installing with mysql in different port than default.

[mcafee182]

Several hosting providers offers mysql 5 on diferent port than default, where in the installation could i set this up ? does a configuration file exist? thanks in advance.

there is a config folder and within that is a file name "settings.inc.php"

 

in that file will be the following

define('_DB_SERVER_', 'localhost');

 

change that to include the port, for example if your port is 1234

define('_DB_SERVER_', 'localhost:1234');
