Does anybody know if MediaWiki supports using a remote MySQL database ?
I'm having trouble getting that set up.
Here is the error I am getting.
Checking environment... * PHP 5.0.4: ok * PHP server API is isapi; unknown; using pretty URLs (index.php/Page_Title), if you have trouble change this in LocalSettings.php * Have XML / Latin1-UTF-8 conversion support. * PHP is configured with no memory_limit. * Have zlib support; enabling output compression.
