    I am running into a small glitch with setting DB table prefix.
    I use Cloud hosting and they set the table prefix automatically as a series of numbers.

    While initially installing MODx, I thought I would use the same prefix on my localhost. However, MODx returns an error saying that the prefix must start with a letter. I guess that’s fine... I’m not sure about:

    Can I set the prefix to anything in the initial setup, then change it in the actual source code?
    Where is that connection information stored?
    If I do change the prefix in the source (to match my hosting prefix of all numbers) will MODx throw a fit?

      1. Yes
      2. /manager/includes/config.inc.php
