database name during installation process - james.dupin - 02-24-2012

hi,

if not mistaken (I haven't tried the latest manual install), we cannot choose the name of the database during the web installation.

It is giving the company name we enter.

I can see numerous cases where this is not good.

I agree.

I installed on a VPS and had to name the company username_companyname. So there is a workaround, but it then displays the vps user name at the beginning of the company names. Not a fatal flaw, but not the best situation, either. I guess the bigger question is, how would you setup a separate db for each company without making the setup process to complex? Maybe provide the ability to define a db name prefix? Seperate db's is a very good thing for financial records.

I think the current system is good. But being able to define a db name prefix would be great.

Regards.

Hi, PMAXX,

There are a scripts Z_MakeNewCompany.php to install a new company without installation from scratch.

Best regards!
