My XOOPS install has been running VERY SLOW lately (taking 2 minutes to serve every page!!!)

It never used to do this, but my (not too terribly helpful) hosting provider says its probably a slow database server thats to blame. The database isnt exactly huge (only 4 mb)- and it has been checked, and optimized.

They advise me to move my XOOPS data to a NEW database (which they suggest will likely be on a different, faster datbase server since they are 'adding servers all the time')

Well.. OK

So i put the XOOPS site offline, and backed up all the data.

I can go and make a NEW DB and import the data to there, no problem.

the question is, how to tell my XOOPS installation where the new DB server is?

does XOOPs have a config file I can edit, that contains the server IP, database name, DB user login and password???

(TIA)
