Hi,
> To me this seems to be a BUG that needs to be fixed.
Since the dawn of time, the default port for MySQL is and has always been 3306.
It is well specified in the MySQL documentation that if the port used is not the default port, it must be specified in the connection procedures.
This is well reminded in :
Left-Click -> Help MariaDB - MySQL
or
Right-Click -> Help -> MariaDB - MySQL
This is also reminded during the installation of Wampserver :
For the use of MariaDB and MySQL
⦁ See the file : wamp(64)\mariadb_mysql.txt
It is also reminded at the end of the 3.2.5 update, in the changelog displayed
To use or inactive MariaDB or MySQL, read the file mariadb_mysql.txt
All you had to do was read
