Mysql on a separate server from DA ?

[kamino]

Hello,


Wonder if there is a way to setup DA to use mysql on a separate server ?
Especially when users want to create or modify login's permission through DA...

Regards,

The following from DirectAdmin Support from this thread:

Hello,

The external mysql option has been around for quite a while now.

Edit /usr/local/directadmin/conf/mysql.conf and set
host=your.otherserver.com

Make sure you have a "da_admin" account setup on the other server with correct permissions. This guide will help you set it up:

Disk usage for mysql is done through mysql, not from files, thus the disk usage will work correctly. Also, for the 1.23.4 release (coming today/tomorrow) all of the database backup/restore tools will also support the feature (add -h option to the mysql commands).
