   I am trying to install wordpress on remote debian webserver with the mysql installed on separate database server.

   I have changed wp-config.php DB_HOST parameter to the ip address of the database server.

   define('DB_HOST', '192.168.100.10');

   However I get the message, when I run install.php script:

   Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL which is required for WordPress.

   Do I need to change any other files?

   You probably need to install the MySQL client on the webserver.

   Dropping to a terminal and typing "apt-get install mysql-client" should do the trick.
