Failing to connect to mysql server when I change port number – Phpmyadmin

I attempted to change MYSQL container to run on a different port number ie 3307 in my docker-compose file but I get a database connection error as shown below after launching services with docker-compose up what could be the issue?

    You need to also tell MySQL about the change of plans:

    environment:
  MYSQL_TCP_PORT: 3307

    (fixed, thanks to @derpirscher, see below)

    (I previously guessed it would be PORT, DB_PORT, MYSQL_PORT, MYSQLD_PORT, or, as a testament to my willingness to believe any absurdity I find on Github, MYSQL_HOST=db:3307)

    Connections between containers always use the "normal" port number for the service; these connections ignore any remapping that ports: might do. If you are only connecting to the database from another container, in fact, ports: isn’t required at all; if it is present, the second port number again needs to be the "normal" port number for the service.

    It should work to change the docker-compose.yml file:

    version: '3.8'
services:
  db:
    # do not need `expose:`
    ports:            # optional, if you're not going to connect from outside Docker
      - '3307:3306'   # second port _must_ be "normal" port 3306
  phpmyadmin:
    # do not need `container_name:` or `links:`
    environment:
      PMA_HOST: db    # Compose service name
      PMA_PORT: 3306  # always the "normal" port, ignores `ports:`

    And similarly in your configuration:

    'HOST': 'db',
'PORT': '3306',  # the "normal" port, ignores `ports:`

    As I noted in comments, expose: and links: are only relevant for an outdated mode of Docker networking, and can be safely removed from the docker-compose.yml file. There’s also usually no harm in letting Compose pick its own container_name:.
