Configuring MySQL to Run on a Separate Server

From AgileApps Support Wiki

This procedure sets up database connection pooling between the two servers.

  1. Enable permissions on MySQL, so web servers can access the database server:
    GRANT ALL ON *.* to 'root'@'web_server_IP_Address' IDENTIFIED BY 'password'
  2. Direct the database server to the application server:
    1. Edit {install-dir}/profiles/IS_default/configuration/tomcat/conf/server.xml
    2. Replace url="jdbc:mysql://{yourDomain}/relationals" with
      url="jdbc:mysql://IP_address_of_database_server/relationals"
    3. Save the file
    4. If the Application server is currently running, then Restart the Application Server.
