[webmin-devel] creating a database and random user/pass on module install

[Tim A. <ti...@be...>]

Hi All,

I'm currently working on a virtualmin/webmin module that works off a
MySQL backend, and am trying to work out how to automate the following
during the module install

1) Create a database - name can be static in this case, though either
static or random will be fine

2) Import a MySQL dump to the database

3) Set up a user with random username and password, and return these
details to the script

The database is universal, not domain specific for virtualmin, so I
don't believe its something to be handled by the feature_setup sub in
virtual_feature.pl.


Is this something that is possible to achieve, or should I include an
install.cgi page that is called if no database details found, for the
setup to be run initially?

Cheers
