usually inside the config file there will be a place where it will ask for the database servername and such. for instance in vbulletin it is
Quote:
// ****** MASTER DATABASE SERVER NAME AND PORT ******
// This is the hostname or IP address and port of the database server.
// If you are unsure of what to put here, leave the default values.
$config['MasterServer']['servername'] = 'localhost';
$config['MasterServer']['port'] = 3306;

you would need to change that if your database is hosted on a different server
