    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.com
    while its DB runs on
    mysql.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 the
    wp-config.php
    file accordingly, import the .sql file back in and bingo?

    If there is anything i should do that i haven’t mentionned, please let me know.

    Thanks

    I am not aware of anything in wp-config.php that would change a server path, but I could be quite wrong there even though I do know obscurity, “free shared server” and security are not synonymous.
