Changing database server
-
Hi,
I own a VPS at dreamhost with wordpress running on it and i’ve just learned that they give you access to a free shared server for hosting database instead of running mysql on the same server as apache, as of now.
At the moment, i run an instance of wordpress at
mysite.comwhile its DB runs onmysql.mysite.com, which is the same server for both.Now I want to change the mysql server to another address/server.
Do I only have to dump the DB, modify thewp-config.phpfile accordingly, import the .sql file and bingo?If there is anything i should do that i haven’t mentionned, please let me know.
Thanks

The site you are asking about does not seem to be hosted on WordPress.COM so you need to make friends over at WordPress.ORG the keepers of the software you are using.
This site is for support of sites hosted on WordPress.COM. You should address your questions to WordPress.ORG the keepers of the software you are using: http://wordpress.org/support/
The forum at WordPress.ORG is not connected to WordPress.COM so you will need to open an account at .ORG if you do not already have one. You may use the same email at WordPress.ORG as you do at WordPress.COM.
