Port Number for MYSQL - using MAMP

[Stephen Barncard]

Quick question.

I've been using a local MySQL distribution on my machine (G5 dual 
tower running 10.5.5) and it's worked ok . It was harder on Leopard 
to install (had to 'make' it) but I've worried about dealing with it 
in the future and at the current time, I can't shut it down, the 
server control panel doesn't work.

In the meantime Jim Alt turned me on to MAMP, a virtualized Apache 
server in an app.

I've gotten it to work with Navicat, which has a field in the connect 
panel to select the PORT for MySQL.  I think that proves that the two 
MySQLs don't conflict with each other.

In Rev, I use Trevor's library to access RevDB. It has worked well 
with the MySQL installation that I installed in Leopard. However, 
with MAMP, I need to specify the port, which on the default MAMP 
setup is 8889.

According to the docs, RevDB doesn't appear to have a separate PORT 
parameter, however one can append the port to the host parameter, like

  localhost:8889

However, this doesn't seem to be  working.

Anyone successfully used MAMP's MySQL with Rev ?
