Let me stick it out there right now: I'm a long-term FreeBSD/OpenSUSE/Solaris user that is in the process of moving a number of personal websites over to a CentOS machine with cPanel, and I am frustrated beyond belief at some of the limitations.
First of all: why can I not create names (both usernames and database names) with periods in them? I do that all the time under FreeBSD, and my ftp/ssh logins & MariaDB database names are all dot-based names; typically the domain name involved (www.domain.com) because ftp/ssh been jailed to that directory anyhow.
I make use of MariaDB because I do not like where MySQL is going. As such, name fields have been upped from 16 (MySQL) to 80 (MariaDB 10.0.13). Where can I modify cPanel to accept names up to 80 characters long, and why does it not do this internally and transparently when MariaDB is used instead of MySQL?? (Simply changing the form is not enough... the JavaScript validators prevent a long name from being accepted) Is the program so inflexibly legacy that it cannot query the current state of the DB and automatically recognize that name fields have been upped to 80 characters?
I would like to turn off database prefixing. As such, when I have my two websites, www.domain.com and name.domain.com, I can have two databases called www.domain.com and name.domain.com (assuming I figure out away around the prohibition on dots in names). That way, I can clearly see which domain they belong to. I have yet to figure out how to turn off database prefixing.
Thanks to all that help.
