Change/Add MySQL port

[reactorh]

Hi,

I need to add a port for MySQL, cause one client cant connect to my mysql server, he said that his corporate proxy settings restrict that..

Could I add another port to MySQL?

Thx!

as far as im aware you would need to run 2 instances of it (which I dont advise) as it only allows you to configure one port, for the sake of 1 client, I wouldnt burden yourself with the trouble it will bring

Hi,

You can make a portforward with IPTABLES... Don't ask me how because I don't know...

If u don't know what I'm talking about, a portforward would be like this:

---
every packet sent to port XXXX will be redirected to port 3306. you just have to choose a port number and tell your costumer to use it in all his connections.
---

That's all. I hope I could help you.
