Port Number for MYSQL - using MAMP

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Stephen,

The server control panel didn't work on my Mac Intel with Leopard  
either. I re-installed the 64-bit version of MySQL and the latest  
version of the control panel and everything worked fine again.

Without error message, there is little I can say about the inability  
to connect. What error do you get returned?
