[support] Moving to a new host

[Kobus Myburgh]

Gordon and all,

Thanks for all your help. The host has found some issue on the server
thanks to your troubleshooting, and is investigating a possible
solution.

In the meantime he asked if I could ask the list if it is possible to
put a port number in the $db_url for the database server?

in other words, something like: $db_url =
'mysql://drupaluser:mypassword@111.111.111.111:3307/drupaldb';

where 111.111.111.111 is the MySQL database server?

My gut feeling is that the string will not get parsed correctly,
because of the fact that there is a : already in the $db_url after the
drupaluser.

Any ideas on this, please?

Thanks!

Kobus
