and then I add the db details here. So I can serve different db details for my local instance.
In the local site db panel/tab the db details for remote host are incorrect, because it is not following the above logic.
I don’t know if that is relevant or not. I suspect not.
Restarting the machine didn’t work either… I don’t suppose you have an external db you can test this with as it’s a big part of my dev work flow, so we don’t have the eternal problem of database conflicts.
