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\';\"

You need to change this value from mysql configuration file. Steps are:

• To go to related file: sudo nano /etc/mysql/my.cnf

• To search for related line:(for Win, Linux) ctrl + w , (for Mac) cmd + w

port = 0

(look for twice for [client] and [mysqld] sections)

• Replace your new value

port            = 3306

• Save and Exit

ctrl + x , cmd + x
y

• Restart service

sudo service mysql restart
