Howdy -- there isn't a way within Virtualmin to rename a database.

However, you could always generate a backup of a database, create a new database, and then import the contents of your original database into the new one.

You can do that from within the "Edit Databases" option for that Virtual Server.

has to be corrected some way

shykot, we're happy to help. Could you create a new request though? This one is a few years old, and seems to be a slightly different issue than what you're experiencing. Thanks!
