I've never installed MySQL on Windows, but I believe the default port for MySQL is 3306.

You can set the port # for MySQL when you configure it by using the --with-tcp-port=port-number flag (at least on Linux). > I wasn't sure if I should just go about > changing the port that apaches works on, will that affect anything or > does it really matter which port it listens to? You can run it on other ports besides port 80, but unless you tell everyone who will be visiting your server's sites what port you changed it to they'll never see them since they'll have to call http://host.domain.tld:XY/ (where XY is new port number) instead of http://host.domain.tld/. -- Steven Werby {steven-lists@befriend.com} President, Befriend Internet Services LLC http://www.befriend.com/ 804-355-WEBS
