    Changing server account name....

    Hi folks,

    What are the repercussions of changing the account username on the server?

    Does the database hold the username and can it be changed?

    Thanks!

    That depends on if it changes the db name and user name as well, which is common on cPanel servers.

      Thanks, I hadn't thought of the database prefix.

        Worst case scenario is that you'd have to update your vBulletin config file so that the details correspond with the changes.
