	Pretty much sums it up. I'm trying to set gallery 3 up to use Apache and php on one server and point to a MySQL database on a different server. I've searched around, but I don't seem to be able to see if it's possible or not. Can it be done?

	Yes. when you install G3 it will ask you for the host name of the DB server along with other info ( username, password etc) Dave _____________________________________________ Blog & G2 \|\| floridave - Gallery Team

	Thanks Dave. I'm not brilliant with MySQL, but I've managed it in the end. I had to create the database and allow secure access from the apache server before I could get through the installation routine. Cheers, Brian
