Can you use a remote mysql DB on 141?

Could I put my DB on a friends network but not move my whole site n still have the forum work?

Trying to get around the mysql slowness/ errors at my host till they get done fixing things. but don't want to move everything.

Though id just test it first ofr a while to make sure.

in config.php, change "localhost" to the ip or url of your friends mysql server. You will have to add your current ip to his mysql remote hosts list or it will block your access.
