Hi gang,
My first post here :)

I downloaded Drupal after looking at lots of other CMS programs and trying a few. What got my attention wiht Drupal was the user base, feel and mods. I hope I've made a good descision.

Anyway, I sitting around right now reading the user manual while I wait for a new domain name to clear the system. And I thougth I would ask the group about something that gives me a problem wiht software at times.

My mySQL databse is not at a /localhost location, in fact it is on a different server. xxx.cccccc.com
will this cause me any problems?

Thanks

this won't cause any problems. just edit this line in your conf.php file (located in the includes folder)

$db_url = "mysql://user:password@hostname/database";

and everything should work great. always has for me anyway.
