How can I change mysql port from 0 to 3306?

Question

I find it hard to establish a link between jdbc and mysql. I think one of the reasons is the mysql port. I checked the port with the statement: \"show variables like \'port\';\"

Answer 1

On my ubuntu install, in /etc/mysql/my.cnf theres a line that says :

[mysqld]
port = 3306

Try changing this value accordingly and restarting mysql.

Hope it works for you.
