connect to mysql via different port

I’m running into issues installing TP on a shared hosting environment. My installation of mysql is not on 3306 but rather 5611. When I run /setup/ to install textpattern, i plug in my information and hit next but it does not successfully configure my system.

In fact, when I hit next, it goes from

https://mydomain.com/mastorna/textpattern/setup/

to

https://mydomain.com/mastorna/textpattern/setup/mastorna/textpattern/setup/index.php

which of course isn’t found.

Part of me is wondering if its due to the fact that my port is different than the default. how do I denote that my port is different in the setup fields? localhost:5611?

any help would be great.

Re: connect to mysql via different port

You can simply enter the colon-separated port designation at the setup screen’s host input as localhost:5611, or later on add it to /textpattern/config.php, like so:

$txpcfg['host'] = 'localhost:5611';

Re: connect to mysql via different port

if you were to add in the socket to this (localhost:5611), how would you do it?

I imagine it’d be: localhost:5611:/path/to/mysql.sock

Re: connect to mysql via different port

You use hostname:port or socket location. See the “server” parameter for mysql_connect.
