Issue
I want to change the default port number of MySQL server presently it is 3306. I want to change it to 3360.
I have tried:
-- port=3360
But things are not working for me. Please provide query to change port not any configuration. I am using Windows 8 64 bit.
Solution
You need to edit your my.cnf file and make sure you have the port set as in the following line:
port = 3360
Then restart your MySQL service and you should be good to go. There is no query you can run to make this change because the port is not a dynamic variable (q.v. here for MySQL documentation showing a table of all system variables).
