Hi

1. The story up until now.

I've been having trouble creating a database using the API.

My discussion has been in the sticky thread regarding the API and classes - but I guess it doesn't really belong there.

I have a feeling there must be some error in my DA setup - which may relate to some manual recompiles I did for some things when I first got my DA equipped box (before I knew the DA way of upgrading PHP etc).

Can anyone suggest any way of analysing/debugging my problem? (More details in ).
====================
2. Moving on.

What I am trying to achieve is the automatic creation of a default mySQL database on creation of a new user account.

The best place to achieve this would be in the user_create_post.sh script.

What syntax can I use there to create a database?
Should I use the API, or should I use mysql directly?
If I use mysql, as which user should I log in and with what password? Are there any other DirectAdmin files that I would need to update?

Thanks for any help
