Currently, with PHP code, I'm creating MySQL databases in cPanel, then MySQL users, and then mapping them to the database, using these 4 PHP routines. The trouble is that every once in a blue moon, at a time when we think it's related to server load, this script says it's created the MySQL, user, and user->db mapping, but we can't see it in cPanel. When we go to MySQL command line, we see it there. And WordPress can't deploy to it -- says it can't reach the database. We have to go to command line MySQL to delete the database. When we manually run these routines under lower server load, the problem goes away. The problem is that I'm usually called back on the issue a day later than it actually occurred -- so I can't see what happened. And my logs just show me that WordPress couldn't deploy to the MySQL database. When I go looking, I don't see it in cPanel, but see it at command line in MySQL.
So, since these routines are problematic, I was wondering how Softaculous resolves this problem. Because even when my script fails, Softaculous still works just fine.

Softaculous has a glorious SDK that's free here:
http://www.softaculous.com/docs/File:Softaculous_Development_Kit.zip
Then, this code should help you install a blog using it. It's blazingly fast -- much faster than cPanel APIs.
