I've run into a problem with a database setting somewhere. I ran the installer a few days ago and it worked properly to install the database tables into the remote server database which I specified. Today, I ran the installer again with what I thought were the same parameters, but with a different database name because I wanted a clean install. But this time, instead of properly using the remote server, I get an error that the installer cannot DROP a table and it is obvious from the error message that it is not using the remote server. What might I have missed? The koha-conf.xml file shows the remote database server configured, so why might the installer not be properly using that? Any ideas where to look?
