It will give an error stating the the database already exists. Softaculous will not write over an existing database. ----------------------- Webuzo - Multi User Hosting Control Panel AMPPS - Best WordPress/PHP/MySQL development tool

Security reasons. i had enough sense never to leave the user name as Admin but i NEVER thought about the database name. can maggots troll through our sites knowing to look for "wp" prefix names? Brijesh can you also post your thoughts on this?

Also the database password is 10 characters random string hence it should not be insecure. ----------------------- Webuzo - Multi User Hosting Control Panel AMPPS - Best WordPress/PHP/MySQL development tool
