I think you are mistaken, you do not connect the Apache you connect your script ie php, perl, python to talk to your remote database, by specifying the dns database and password in your config file which should be on your apache server.
You must ensure you have the specific odbc modules installed ie mysql-python if you are using python. hth norman -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 31, 2001 12:38 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: How to make apache webserver on a Linux box connect to a remote mySQL database on a separate Sun box Can someone pls advise me on how to make a website running in an apache webserver on a Linux box connect to a remote mySQL database on a separate Sun box?
