You can set a port number when saving to DB. If not set, GnuCash will use the
default. There is no separate field for it, but I believe you can use a
"host:port" format in the hostname field.
If you prefer to keep the non-default port number for your mysql server, you
can reopen your db in
I expect that gnucash assumes you are using the default mysql port.

Thanks again for your help; I think I understand my problem now.
GnuCash (reasonably) looks for an instance of MySQL using the same port
that it used when closed (or when created? Not sure). Anyway, I had
assigned a different port number to my new version of MySQL (since I wanted
to keep both

Thanks for your suggestion. No, with only my new instance of MySQL running
(8.13 running, 5.6 stopped) when I use the GnuCash API to create a new
shell database (shelldb) and try to save as mysql, I get the same error:
"The server at URL mysql://root@localhost/shelldb experienced an error or
Are you able to Save As mysql with the new server?
Also have a look in the trace file and see what it says, often it will
give more information in the case of db problems.

I recently installed an updated version of MySQL Server (8.13) on my
machine. I have an established GnuCash database under an instance of MySQL
5.6. I copied all GnCash db/tables from that older version of MySQL to an
identically named database/tables in MySQL 8.13.
