How to connect to MySQL when host is not on Port 80 1

[VBRookie]

I have IIS and Apache installed on the same box. IIS is listening to port 80 and I have apache configured to listen to port 90.

When I try to connect to the MySQL database using mysqli_connect I keep getting the error 'Unknown MySQL server host 127.0.0.1:90.

This is what my connection string looks like:

mysqli_connect ("127.0.0.1:90", "root", "pass", "prodDB", "3306")

I also changed my php.ini to set the mysqli.default_host = 127.0.0.1:90

Any ideas?

MySQL doesn't run on port 90, it uses 3306 by default.

I have mysql on port 3306. The webserver is on port 90 ...

 

[lgarner]

The webserver's port is irrelevant. It will connect to MySQL on port 3306, unless you've changed MySQL's configuration.

Hint: 127.0.0.1:90 is also an invalid host address. Remove the ":90
