I am trying to install koha on a server with a remote mysql server (which I have a user and a database already created for me) how can I do this with the debian using koha-common 21:11 bigbrovar oh I think its all here https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Install_Koha_3.6_on_Debian_squeeze_using_a_separate_MySQL_server would check back if it doesn't work 21:17 wizzyrea yeah that's close enough 21:43 bigbrovar wizzyrea: please. when I create the db-request.txt. where do I place the file. The https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Install_Koha_3.6_on_Debian_squeeze_using_a_separate_MySQL_server does not really specify if the koha-create --requestdb mylibrary is an interactive tool or not 21:44 wizzyrea it's not, you go create the database with the given credentials on the remote server 21:44 wizzyrea the file only shows you what credentials you need to give the Koha user on the remote database 21:45 wizzyrea if you don't want to use those credentials, you can set them in the /etc/koha/sites/instance/koha-conf.xml 21:45 wizzyrea (along with the hostname of the remote server)
