Configuring MySQL to Run on a Separate Server
From AgileApps Support Wiki
This procedure sets up database connection pooling between the two servers.
- Enable permissions on MySQL, so web servers can access the database server:
GRANT ALL ON *.* to 'root'@'web_server_IP_Address' IDENTIFIED BY 'password'
- Direct the database server to the application server:
- Edit {install-dir}/profiles/IS_default/configuration/tomcat/conf/server.xml
- Replace url="jdbc:mysql://{yourDomain}/relationals" with
url="jdbc:mysql://IP_address_of_database_server/relationals" - Save the file
- If the Application server is currently running, then Restart the Application Server.
