CiviCRM in seperate database from Joomla?
October 01, 2008, 02:00:08 pm
At one point I had seperated my CiviCRM database from the Joomla database, but it looks as though it is assumed it will be part of the Joomla database.

What's the best practice, or do I really have a choice?

The installer does not give you a choice. But you do have a choice if you are familiar with php etc. You can edit the settings file (civicrm.settings.php, both frontend and backend) and "fix" the civicrm dsn. You'll also need to load civicrm.mysql and civicrm_data.mysql into your civicrm db (if new)
