MySQL, and PHPMYADMIN with WAMP on port 81

Question

I installed WAMP at port 81 because SQL Server is running on
the default port 80 (non-networked, home-office, XP system.)

I created a MySQL database using PHPMYADMIN. Now I need to
connect to it using Dreamweaver (CS3):

Connection name: connMinding
MySQL server: localhost:81
Username: root
Password:

When I hit the SELECT button, DW goes off to test the
database connection, takes forever doing it, and then I get a
server timeout message. Since the server is up and running, the
message gives an alternative that suggesting the ODBC DSN doesn't
exist on the testing server.

Does anyone know how I should be doing this? What MySQL
Server?

Thanks.

.oO(Minding)>I installed WAMP at port 81"WAMP" is just a common name for a bundle of software. Itcontains atleast two servers which have to listen on different(!) ports:the webserver Apache (usually 80) and the database MySQL (usually3306).There are many different WAMP distributions available. Whichone do youuse?>because SQL Server is running on the default port >80 (non-networked, home-office, XP system.)Port 80 is reserved for HTTP and should not be used foranything else.You should check your configuration (and adjust ifnecessary).> I created a MySQL database using PHPMYADMIN.

What happens if you call <http://localhost:81> in yourbrowser?Do you get a response? What happens if you omit the port inDW's DBconfiguration?Micha
