database setup

[sumpson]

Hello,

I have a client which has a server and would like me to run his website on there. but i'm not able to setup a database on this server. Is it possible to setup a database on a different server and use this for his website?

Hope someone can help me.

Yes you just have to give it the address, point it to it, this is how 1and1 do it...

wow, didn't actually expect this to be able..

gonna try it out, not sure what excactly would be the link to the database would be but will see how it points out in the installation and hope i'll get it done.

Uh nevermind, he has to do something about his host..


I'm getting an error: "directory listing denied" after uploading CMSMS.

also, some hosts don't allow database connections from other servers...
