A further problem might make the use of template1 a bad idea.

If opencms is unable to create the database (because of the inverted 
comma problem in the other mail), opencms tries to create the tables 
inside the database specified on the command line instead: in other 
words template1!

Ideally to fix this, a third checkbox should be added to "user" and 
"tables" for "database", and if the database cannot created, it should 
not try create the tables.

This means that the user can create the database manually if they so 
choose, and point to it using the URL, and opencms can still populate 
the tables for them without error.

Graham
