 * Hi, my db has an address + port on top of the un, pw and name. It looks something
   like this: sql3.[mydomain.com],1244
 * the config php file only specifies db name un and pw?
 * Please help me configure my db (MS SQL Serv 2005 version)
 * Thanks
 * Charl

 * `define('DB_HOST', 'sql3.mydomain.com:1244');`
 * That should work.
