Connecting to remote database

[Xtonx]

Hi Al,
I've got a centralized db server going already and would prefer to use that over another DB on the local Chyrp VM.

Is it possible to connect Chyrp-Lite to a MySQL database running on a different machine? If so I would greatly appreciate any advice or instructions on how to do so. The only option I'm seeing on the install.php page is to setup a local SQLite db. Forgive me if this is somewhere in the documentation, I wasn't able to find it on the Wiki or going through the existing issues list.

Hello there,

Chyrp Lite supports SQLite, MySQL, and PostreSQL, but you must have your PHP installtion configured with PDO driver support in order to use them. Once done, the installer should look like this.

Perfect, thank you very much! Looks like the PDO_MySQL extension wasn't in my php.ini file, works great now.
