Web browser: --- 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. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
