fetch_updates.sh can't connect to MySQL - SOLVED

Question

Hi,

Just wanted to point out that people may need to add the port number of their MySQL server to the fetch_updates script.

I also believe that using DB_HOST=localhost uses sockets and might also prevent connections(depending on the MySQL configuration).

I changed DB_HOST=127.0.0.1 and then because my port is different to the standard I added

DB_PORT=8889

and then added the --port param to the MYSQL_DB_CMD command.

MYSQL_DB_CMD="$MYSQL -h $DB_HOST --port=$DB_PORT -u $DB_USER -p$DB_PASS $DB_NAME"

This works fine now. Just thought I'd pass it on in case others might have this issue in the future.
