Hi,

I want to connect to the ensembl database from midas, but has to be via port 5306. The normal command line procedure is

mysql -u anonymous -h ensembldb.ensembl.org

and goes via port 3306.

Can anybody help me with defining the port in this command?

Thanks, Tine

adding -P 5306 to the command line should work, unless IT blocks that port, what they probably do...
