MySQL - Installing on Separate Server

OL Connect Professional General

Hi,

Are there any installation instructions in the event the customer requires MySQL to be installed on a separate Server from the PlanetPress Server?

Thank you!

Hello shootace,

Installing MySQL on a different machine is fairly simple. The instructions are scattered all over the installation guide, but essentially:

  • You need a root access (or at least all privileges on a new database) on the MySQL server
  • Your MySQL server needs to accept connections from external servers (see here for details).

During installation:

  • Do not check the MySQL Product option as you already have your own
  • In the MySQL Configuration screen, enter the appropriate connection information for your server.

Other than these things, installation is pretty identical.
