John Olav Oldertrøen	Monday 27 November 2006 1:37:56 am I am going to install eZ Publish 3.8 Q: Should I wait for the stabe 3.9? Secondly, and most important: I have to use Postgre SQL and I have to connect to an external DB server. In the setup wizard I just can't remember if anything else than localhost connection to DB was an option? Q: How to connect to an external DB server in the setup process?

Of course, if there is a feature you really need you could wait, or start developing using 3.9 rc1 which has been released. 2. You can certainly use an external DB: http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_8/reference/configuration_files/site_ini/databasesettings/host I am fairly sure there is an option in the setup wizard, although it's a while since I've run the wizard. Worst case scenario, you'd have to do a manual install without using the wizard: http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_8/installation/manual_installation Matthew http://carroll.org.uk
