==Identify the <nop>MySQL listening port ==  

1. Login to your <nop>MySQL database server.

2. Locate your my.cnf file.

3. Look for the port definition.   For example: 

 {{{
# The following options will be passed to all MySQL clients
[client]
#password       = your_password
port            = 3306
socket          = /tmp/mysql.sock

}}}
