Leginon

for using different port numbers for connecting to mysql db:

add the following lines to sinedon.cfg and leginon.cfg:

port: 3316 ### or any other port number

Just assigning this value is still problematic, because at some point down the line, it is interpreted as a string rather than an integer. Thus, in the leginon repository, I had to add two lines to sqldict.py inside /path/to/sinedon/sqldict.py:

if ‘port’ in kwargs:
kwargs[‘port’] = int(kwargs[‘port’])

Now the code reads like this, and this seems to work:

def init(self, **kwargs):
                """ 
                Create a new SQLDict object.
                db: an SQL DB-API database connection object.
                The optional keyword arguments are:
                        host    = "DB_HOST" 
                        user    = "DB_USER" 
                        db      = "DB_NAME" 
                        passwd  = "DB_PASS" 
                """ 
                if 'port' in kwargs:
                        kwargs['port'] = int(kwargs['port’])
