TCP/IP Port Number: The port on which MySQL will expect, and respond to, requests. A
check is run to confirm whether the specified TCP\IP Port Number is available on the
local machine. If it is already being used by another service (generally, an existing
MySQL installation), the number is highlighted in red and a warning message is
displayed at the top of the dialog.
Note
The MySQL Product controlled by the OLConnect_MySQL service communicates
through port 3306 by default.
l
Allow MySQL Server to accept non-local TCP connections: Click to enable external
access to the MySQL server.
Note
This option is required if MySQL Server will need to be accessed from any other
machine.
It is also required if the MySQL database is on a separate machine to PlanetPress
Connect.
Tip
This option may represent a security risk if the machine is open to the internet.
It is heavily recommended that your firewall is set to block access to port 3306 from
external requests.
