Hello everyone,
I'm new to phped and want your help please.

I install WAMP server on my windows 7 and change the Apache port to 3000 because the IIS take the port 80.

now i try to connect to my MySQL DB:
in database account i put:
hostname: "localhost"
port: "3000"
user name
password


when i try to connect the db i get the error:

"2013- lost connection to MySQL server during query"

anybody can help me with this connection?

Web server and database server are two different applications. You just configured Apache to run on port 3000, this means you can access Apache web server using http://localhost:3000. But MySQL runs on different port. Default MySQL port is 3306 and if not changed, you do not need to enter the port number.
