listmail and amember on the same database

[tom3]

Hi there, I have been trying to get amember and listmail to work using different databases but have hit a problem as i can't get amember to access the listmail database as it needs its own username with all permissions (and my host won't allow 2 usernames for a database).

Is it possible to use the database that i have installed amember on - and then install listmail as well on the same database?

If this will work, do i simply run the standard listmail installation or are there extra steps that need to be made to make this work? I have a lot of data on the database using amember and don't want to risk mucking up the existing data.

Thanks in advance for the help!!

Greetings, Yes, ListMail can be installed along-side other scripts in the same MySQL database.  ListMail takes care not to remove tables created by other scripts.  There are no blind "drop all tables in database" commands which might be found in some scripts.

The only thing you'll want to watch out for is that aMember also does not touch any tables that it has not created.  I'd venture a guess that they have taken care to avoid affecting other tables in the same database, too.
