so I have read up on this but I wanted to get a last minute suggestion from oxwall I am planning on using an external database so how should my config.php file look for the db section? and how do I find the route to a certain database on my db server?

in the config.php change the following
define('OW_DB_HOST', 'localhost');
change localhost to the IP of where the new mysql database can be found
define('OW_DB_PORT', null);
change this to the port number used by mysql (i think this only needs to be changed if its has been changed from the default)
