Vesta Control Panel - Forum

We are a starting web hosting company. We are testing Vesta and have found what is obviously a bug in your control panel. This my not be the most appropriate place to report it, but I could not find a proper place in your forums, so I picked what I thought was the best place. If I choose wrong, I am sorry.

You see, one of our domains is shoppingonlinepy.com. Vesta automatically assigns it the prefix "shoppingonlinepy_" for all databases names and users.

The problem is that the assigned prefix is already longer than 16 characters (17 in this case, which just for 1 character names makes it 18 characters long), so MySQL keeps on rejecting it.

I know it is a MySQL bug really, but you could as a workaround provide an editable prefix... That can only be edited when the user has no databases or users.

On this same note, another case in which such a prefix would be useful is when you own different domains, say "shoppingonlinepy.com" and "shoppingonlinepy.net". What would the database prefix be in these cases? Note that I have not tested this, but the exact same solution could apply.

As a work around, I have created my users using phpMyAdmin, logged in as the root MySQL user. So I am not in any sort of hurry... But by doing so, I have extracted the domain's database component from Vesta's control. So it would be nice if you provide a fix.

Thanks for using Vesta ;-)

Why it's so bad? You have a choice what and how you can do.

Do you have any suggestion?

the prefix Vesta Chooses is not from the domain name but from the vesta "username" under which the domain is being hosted. So to avoid the 16 char limit you should create your VestaCP user with short length. For Eg: shponpy
