Unable to create new database - slashdb

Question

When I create a new mysql db, slashdb's test connection fails.
Here is how I log into mysql:
$ mysql -u 7stud -p
Enter password:

In the slashdb form for creating a new database, here is the info I entered:
Hostname: 127.0.0.1
Port: 80
Database Login: 7stud
Database Password: **
Database Name: mydb
Then I hit the "Test Connection" button, whereupon I get a spinning wheel, which disappears after a few minutes, but no "Connection Successful" message. What am I doing wrong?
Now, I'm using port 3306:
mysql> SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES LIKE 'PORT';
+---------------+-------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+---------------+-------+
| port | 3306 |
+---------------+-------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
but when slashdb tries to connect, I get the error:
Host localhost:3306 is not accessible

Answer 1

Your port is wrong in the database connection. You said that your MySQL is configured on port 3306, but you also posted your SlashDB config for database with port 80. Please change that to 3306.
Also, not sure how if you don't need to enable remote access to MySQL. Even if your SlashDB is running on the same machine as the MySQL database, it uses TCP/IP to connect.
