Can I hold two databases in same place using mysql, one is for forum and another is for myself (not for wordpress)?

When I install bbpress 0.9.0.4, it can’t been connected with forum-database(stick in step 1), although I use databaseConnect.php to test it that success connecting forum-database. But I use myself-database to replace it, it is work and pass step 1. 2. 3. (myself-database is first, forum-database is second in order.)

But it can’t be loged in, anybody password is incorrect in my forum. After using recovered password it still doesn’t work. I think the problem is forum-tables mixed with myself-tables, they stay in one database. So I want to reinstall bbPress but I worry to stick step 1 same before. Could you give me some suggestion.

I use bbPress 0.9.0.4 , not integrated with WordPress. My server use Linux CentOS, Apache 2.2.3, Mysql5.045 and Php 5.1.6 .

If you’re asking “Can you use two separate DBs for two separate applications?”

Then yes.

If you’re not asking that then … I dunno.
