I am beginning to beta test IPB 2.2 and set up a second MySQL instance on our servers which listens on a different port. How do I configure IPB to connect to MySQL on this port?

Thanks!

Please post this question on IPS Beyond. It is certainly possible, however this isn't really feedback for IPB 2.2 :)

Why run multiple MySQL instances?, just create a different database and point it at that..

Well, he mentioned that he is beta testing, so he might have MySQL 5.1 running on one port/socket and MySQL 5.0 on another.

Or he could be working on load-balancing, or any number of things. It's really irrelevant. :) I can see multiple possible reasons for wanting to use the feature.

Just as an FYI, for those who want to know. Yes, I have a production version of IPB using MySQL v4.0 and now I am beta testing 2.2 with MySQL 5.0 on the same box. :)
