Cannot create MySQL database beginning with a number.

Virtualmin
1

Hey all,

I’m trying to add a database with a name in the format of “1234website”. Every time I try to add it, though, Virtualmin throws an error:

Failed to create database : Missing or invalid database name - only letters, numbers and _ are allowed

When the virtual server is first created, a database is made named “one234website”, which doesn’t work for me— I’d really like the first character to be a number.

Webmin allows me to do this, but it seems like I can’t through the Virtualmin “Create new database” form. Is there any way for me to make Virtualmin allow a number as the first character?

Thanks!

I just tested this… it seems to actually be a bug in Virtualmin. You might want to report it in the issue tracker, so that the coders are certain to read it.
