 Hi, also googled the following (which matches no results):

akeeba "unite" "dbport"

It seems this setting is undocumented. Can you please add it? :)

Originally I was adding the port to the end of the host (like one has to do in the joomla ui).

This works in the validator step but the port is later dropped when creating the restore site configuration which obviously breaks the process.

Adding <dbport>3006</dbport> to the <databaseInfo> section seems to work throughout (which I only discovered by reading the code).

Thanks,
Josh

Ok, I see why maybe it was undocumented. It doesn't actually work ;)

I've updated engine/step/configupdate.php to append the port to the host entry in the configuration.php file if it's set. Here's the diff:

You can simply add the port to the dbhost tag. For example:
<dbhost>mysql.example.com:8306</dbhost>
