   I'm attempting to install a WordPress blog at http://www.brooklyncollegeradio.org/blog

   But the database is hosted at mysql.annkara.org

   Is it possible to host the database on a different server than the blog code and files?

   Thanks,

   Jesse

   Yup, wp.com does it that way. Edit you config file and put the URL of the outside MySQL server into the line for where the db host is. Do note though that you should notify your hosts on both boxes because many hosts do not allow access to their MySQL databases from outside their box.

   Hope this helps,
