# Remote MySQL Server

 * I am trying to install wordpress on remote debian webserver with the mysql installed
   on separate database server.
 * I have changed wp-config.php DB_HOST parameter to the ip address of the database
   server.
 * define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘192.168.100.10’);
 * However I get the message, when I run install.php script:
 * Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL which is required for WordPress.
 * Do I need to change any other files?

 * You probably need to install the MySQL client on the webserver.
 * Dropping to a terminal and typing “apt-get install mysql-client” should do the
   trick.
