    I'm using MySQL In App, but don't find the environment variables described, DB_HOST for example. Every couple months MySQL picks a new port and my app breaks, I need to update the configuration.php file in my Joomla site, and see no way to determine it programmatically.Today MySQL chose a new port. Only way I see to get it is use PHPMyAdmin from the Azure portal to observe it, then update the configuration.php file.//public $host = '127.0.0.1:49679'; public $host = '127.0.0.1:49714';I don't see this anywhere in the environment variables. What am I missing?
