Re: Databases: hosting moodle database on remote server?
Kevin,
I run Moodle on Window's 2003 servers (both the web server and database server). The only serious problems we've encountered are when an entire class launches a quiz at the same time - You can hear the server choking! Everything else seems to do okay on Windows.
Because of this, we're looking to rehost Moodle on a Linux box, but keep the database on a Window's box.

Error: Database connection failed.
It is possible that the database is overloaded or otherwise not running properly.
The site administrator should also check that the database details have been correctly specified in config.php
i receive that error when i change my dbhost to the IP of the windows server. is this how you are doing it? just changing the dbhost to the ip of the windows server hosting the database?
thanks for you help!http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/connecting-disconnecting.html
It is probably worth getting that working first, before brining Moodle into the equation.
