Re: [EP-tech] Installing EPrints database using different server

Hi,
It’s very straightforward.  I think you can specify the database connection when you first set up eprints (it’s been a while since I did it) or alternatively you can update the details in <EPRINTS_ROOT>/archives/<ARCHIVE_ID>/cfg/cfg.d/database.pl to specify the db-host.

Instead of localhost, provide the fully qualified domain name of that server.

Hi,

I'd like to ask if it's possible to install ePrints using a MySQL database on a different server. Has anyone successfully done this? I've never done it before, as I only have one server for both the application and the database.

Thank you.

Regards,
