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.

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

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