woolyg Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Hi, I'm completely new to this, so please excuse any silliness - I'm starting to look into hosting my site on a dedicated network and have a couple of questions, so if anyone can help that would be great. 1. Is it possible to run a MySQL box, separate from the web server, to handle query processing? 2. If so, is there any noticeable lag in display/performance for the person viewing the site, internal network issues aside? 3. Would this kind of setup cause security issues? 4. Could this be done using 2 windows boxes? Thanks, WoolyG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenway Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 1. Yes, and it's often a good idea, since webservers and databases have opposite load requirements. 2. Assuming the box isn't too far away and is equally reliable, no. 3. It shouldn't. 4. I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwasif Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 It is better to have skip-name-resolve in MySQL configuration file when running webserver and MySQL server on separate machines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
