Of course it's possible. In fact, commercial environments should operate that way.

In your config.php file, you need to change the following variables:

$config['MasterServer']['servername'] = 'localhost';
$config['MasterServer']['port'] = 3306;

Change "localhost" to "whatever.com" where your database is held. That will let you have your files and database on different servers.



Likewise you can do the forum path like:

$config['Misc']['forumpath'] = 'http://www.whatever.com/forum';

However this is not recommended since you will have some serious issues surrounding file permissions. You'll still have to put the files on your server - but when they include the other files it'll pull from the other file server.
