Jan, Do you have console access to the *Koha* server?
If so, log in there, and assuming that you are running a package install of Koha, you can run sudo koha-list This will tell you which instances of koha are installed (unless you've gotten fancy, there will only be one) Then you can run sudo koha-mysql instance-name Where instance-name is the output from koha-list. The script koha-mysql will read the username, password, database name, server name and port number from koha-conf.xml, and will connect to the database if it is up and running. If you can't connect, 1) check the settings in koha-conf.xml 2) have your IT department check that the port is open in the firewall. 3) have them restart mysql.
