TYPO3和MySQL数据库位于不同的服务器上

Question

是否可以在TYPO3通过SSH隧道连接数据库的单独服务器上运行TYPO3（6.0）和MySQL？

Answer 1

This should be possible. However, it depends how your web hoster manages access from remote servers. For TYPO3 4.x, it's something like that in localconf.php :

$typo_db_username = 'mysql_user';
$typo_db_password = 'mysql_password';
$typo_db_host = '127.0.0.1:12345';
$typo_db = 'mysql_dbname';

For TYPO3 > 6.x, it's in LocalConfiguration.php :

return array(
  [...]
  'DB' => array(
  'database' => 'mysql_dbname',
  'host' => '127.0.0.1:12345',
  'password' => 'mysql_password',
  'username' => 'mysql_user',
  ),
  [...]
);

Where 12345 is the local port you used to set up the tunnel:

ssh -L 12345:127.0.0.1:3306 ssh_user@remoteserver.com

On most servers, you can use localhost instead of 127.0.0.1 .
IMHO, the security bottleneck is how the remote MySQL server handles incoming connections. I guess you can also set ths in via the install tool.

EDIT : Changed the host according to hints from comments.
