• Debian 11 has reached its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.81 is the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

Database user name is invalid

NicoTe

New Pleskian
Hello,

I recently wanted to create a MySQL database for WordPress and could do so without any problems.
After that I tried to create a user for that database and it returned me this error:

"Error: Database user name is invalid."

I googled a little and found some problems that existed because of the length of the username, so I'm now
using an accountname with less than 12 characters to create a database user with less than 16 characters (including a prefix).

Still not working. Still the same error message.

Any suggestions?

The Parallels version is: 10.4.4 Update #57
 
Hello :),

Please disable the prefix in Home > Server Tools > Database Servers > Database hosting settings. Disabling the prefix will allow you to enter the full 16-characters for the username.

I found that solution somewhere on the forums after another hour or so of searching. Told the administrator to do that so I could use the MySQL-System and it worked!

But thank you anyway! Appreciate that I actually got an answer. Didn't think that I would get one since it's been a week ;)
