    Before I put in a help desk ticket, PhpBB3 had me upgrade into a new database location. Then when updating the aMember PhpBB plug-in I noticed it wants the new database on the same server as the aMember database.

    Is there an option to connect to a different database server, my hosting provider only allows one database per server, then assigns new servers when new databases are created?

    How can the plug-in be modified to allow connecting to a different database server for the phpBB3 database than the aMember database location?

    Best,

    Justin

    Which version of amember are you using?
    The new version of the plugin has the ability to choose a different database hostname.

    "MySQL Database Hostname"

    David,

    Thank you, I'll update to the latest plug-in after upgrading to the latest aMember version. It sounds like the new version has already addressed this issue.

    Best regards,

    Justin
