hi alll
i am going to install koha on production server. is it possible to install koha by using mysql database installed on a separate machine? all databases of my company on a separate server machine and my IT manager is not allowing me to install mysql and koha on the same server.
can someone tell me method for this?
Abdul, We have several such instances running; it's very simple. During the installation process, when the Makefile.PL script asks you where the database host is located, (the default is 'localhost'), just give it the DNS name or IP address of the server where your MySQL DB is running. In the case of an already running instance, you just need to edit the <host> entry in the KOHA_CONF file. Either way, very simple.
