Did you change that from how it was working before, or did you recently upgrade to 0.83? I ask because 0.83 made the switch to db-mysqli.php and as far as I know db-mysqli.php does not accept the port parameter (the part after the localhost:)

So, was it working before and it stopped all of the sudden or did you upgrade something that might have broken it.

If you upgraded to 0.83, I think this ticket might be of interest to you:
