I have installed xampp and I changed the mysql port number from 3306 to 3307 ( as 3306 is blocked for other application). Both apache and mysql are running when I press start. By the way, I am using Windows

When I try to install bitnami wordpress module, the installer is not able to find mysql as the installer is looking for it on port number 3306 instead of 3307. I have checked the bitrock_installer.log and found out that it is indeed looking for mysql on port numner 3306.

Log started 05/01/2017 at 14:36:22 Preferred installation mode : qt Trying to init installer in mode qt Mode qt successfully initialized Tried to find file "properties.ini" inside non-existent directory "C:\Bitnami" Executing C:/xampp\mysql\bin/mysql.exe -u root -P3306
-hlocalhost -e "show databases;" Script exit code: 1

Script output:  

Script stderr:  ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

Error running C:/xampp\mysql\bin/mysql.exe -u root -P3306 -hlocalhost
-e "show databases;": ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

Is there a way to specify the mysql port number during bitnami wordpress installation, so that it looks for mysql on port number 3307 instead of 3306 ? Thank you.

During the WordPress installation process, you should select the directory where your XAMPP is installed. If you select a directory that contains a XAMPP installed using non-default ports (for example Apache [81,444] and MySQL [3307]), WordPress installation will use the same ports that are defined in the configuration files inside the XAMPP directory.

    I selected the directory (i.e. c:\xampp) where XAMPP is installed but still no luck. The log error remained the same. Wordpress installation is still looking at port 3306 for mysql. – Michael Paonam May 15 '17 at 09:33

As of Jul'17 there is no way to specify MySql port number. Following is the response I got from Bitnami Developer:

I am afraid that we do not support a different port by default. My advice would be to restart mysql in port 3306, perform the installation and then switch it back to your custom port. Note that you will also need to change the wp-config.php file so it uses the proper database port. Would that work for you?
