Mysql?

  • On my current host I have one Mysql named database with existing tables and data in it. Will my installation of WP delete anything in the existing Mysql database? I can purchase another database but prefer not to, if possible.
    Thanks

  • I don’t think you need another DB. The only thing is to prefix the WP tables with a prefix that does NOT exist yet. It won’t delete anything, it will just create new tables. And for the DB username and pw use the existing ones.

    Slightly off topic, but is it possible to run coppermine and wordpress out of the same mysql database in the same way? My host limits me to one database so I’m stuck with a similar situation.

    Yes it is – it’s the table_prefix that matters, and coppermine does not mess with an existing wp install.

    Awesome. Thanks!
