             Bug #: 36300
           Summary: DatabaseMysql.php ignores $wgDBport
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: 1.18.1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Database
        AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
        ReportedBy: bigbear...@gmail.com
    Classification: Unclassified
   Mobile Platform: ---


When using a remote database with the settings:

$wgDBtype           = "mysql";
$wgDBserver         = "192.168.0.1";
$wgDBport           = "2706";
$wgDBname           = "wikidb";
$wgDBuser           = "root";

The variable $wgDBport is ignored by the mysql database class. Instead you'll
have to use the following configuration:

$wgDBtype           = "mysql";
$wgDBserver         = "192.168.0.1:2706";
$wgDBname           = "wikidb";
$wgDBuser           = "root";

In our case the serverside error was
"(Can't contact the database server: Lost connection to MySQL server at
'reading initial communication packet', system error: 111" 
which is a bit confusing but we tracked it down using wireshark that the
default mysql port 3306 was used instead of our port.
