change port of mysql server in phpmyadmin

August 23, 2022 . 1 MIN READ

I have two instances of MySql (5.1.73-1-log) running on my server, one on port 3306 (default), one on port 3307. Now, I want to change PhpMyAdmin (3.3.7deb7) to take the second instance, on 3307, instead the default one. Thus, I add the following line to config.inc.php:

    $cfg['Servers'][$i]['port'] = '3307';

Now, though PhpMyAdmin says localhost:3307 (look Screenshot), the databases that it accesses are still those from the instance that runs on the default port.

How do I change the settings in order to make the port change real?
