    Hello

    Is there a way to rename the user's DBases names without messing with phpmyadmin?

    dev must consider that.


    thanks.

    No, the names of the databases can not be renamed. If you rename them in phpmyadmin, you will loose the ability to manage them from ISPConfig.

    You'll lose the ability to manage the DBs from within ISPConfig, plus there's a big chance that you mess up the ISPConfig database.

    understood that.. never mess with ispconfig db..

    but, you guys never replied with an alternative solution to this..

    what if i have a script/program that needs to run on a specific database name/user?

    i think that would be better if the owner of the website shoose a name for his dbase. something like [domain]_customDBname

    the same with DB usernames

    Create the databases manually in phpmyadmin.

    But I'am not sure which website script relys on a specific database name, I do not no one as this would mean that this script can be installed only once on a server.

    This is not a custom database that you can choose as the domain part is added automatically. If your website application supports what you suggested, it will also support the current auto generated names as well.

    That'S what we've told you. But this doesn't matter if your application absolutely needs a certain database name. You can manage that database from phpMyAdmin.

    sorry for my lack of english...

    I understand all that..

    but, there is no way to do it like for example on some host comp. like siteground.
    you can name your own database and they just apend your domainname to that DBname..
    like i said before something like [domain]_customDB


    ps: i think this topic should be moved to ISPconfig Feature Requests ,dont know.. im new here...
