Apache+php on one server and MySQL on another server?

[goe]

Hi,

I'm using Fedora2 distribusion and I'm rather fresh in linux. Basiclly I'm trying to put Apache+php on one server and MySQL on onother server and make them talk to each onther.

I have two machines, both with Fedora2. One has apache+php and the other one MySQL database instaled. I have them in local network.

First server's IP is 192.168.3.20 (Apache + php)
Second server's IP is 192.168.3.21 (MySQL)

So instead calling "localhost" in php scripts hosted on first server I know I have to call second server IP (192.168.3.2) but my man question is how to configurate the second server to pass queries to MySQL DB and then send back results back to first server...?

Or maybe my thinking is wrong...
Please keep any answers simple to understand for newbie like me

you think wrong. all you have to configure at mysql server is to accept tcp/ip connections on device and that is it. server will automagically pass results to client (client - server works like this)...

[Jman]

Note that on any database configuration page (forum setup scripts for example) you will need to change the default localhost.

Think of a web server. All it cares about is serving the clients that connect to it. So it waits for connections then serves them. Client-server model.
