possible bug: cacti 0.8.7g and mysql in not default port

[mariog]

Hello
there's a problem with cacti 0.8.7g and mysql running in a non defaut port (3307 instead of default 3306)

cacti can't connect to the database even though the file config.php has been filled correctly

the versions i am using are
mysql : 5.1.51
apache 2.2.28
php 5.2.5

the output of config.php:


* make sure these values refect your actual database/host/user/password */
$database_type = "mysql";
$database_default = "cacti";
$database_hostname = "localhost";
$database_username = "root";
$database_password = "R00Tpswd";
$database_port = "3307";

/* Default session name - Session name must contain alpha characters */
#$cacti_session_name = "Cacti";

when i try to launch cacti i get an error that it cannot connect to the database.. database is running on port 3307,

a simple php page work correctly but not within cacti.. how can i have this issue solved, should a bug be submitted??

thank you.
