Error establishing a database connection

    Hi all,
    I have been developing in WordPress for quite some time now but have never faced something like this previously – probably have not experimented like this before as well.

    Here is what I have in as long as the environment is concerned:
    1. I have installed a [Zend] WebServer on my local machine on port 90 instead of the default port [80].
    2. I have installed MySql Server on a non-default port 3310.

    I am able to access the MySQL instance through phpMyAdmin and MySQL Workbench as well without any problem, this is as far as I can go.

    When I try to install the WordPress 3.61 [I faced this issue with v3.6 as well] and enter the credentials [DB Name, User, Password, DB Host and Prefix] and press the submit button, I am greeted with the above error message “Error establishing a database connection” don’t know why?

    I am sure this has something to do with the installation of MySQL server on a non-default port 3310, will really appreciate if anyone can advise on this.
    Thanks in advance!

    Ahh friends have to use 127.0.0.1:3310 or localhost:3310 as database host, just in case someone else also gets into the same issue.
