Edit: Really sorry guys..haven't done the install since 2010 and I forgot to put the userinfo_ before the DB user. I feel stupid lol.

So I'm trying to install vbulletin 5. All files installed, and i'm going to host mysql in a place other than localhost.

Here is the file from my config

$config['MasterServer']['servername'] = 'removed since fixed';

yet when I go to install.php I get this error:

2: mysqli_real_connect() [function.mysqli-real-connect]: (28000/1045): Access denied for user 'vbuser'@'removed since fixed' (using password: YES)

The gator1350 ip isn't that one. I've tried using the ip, and used the link and neither work. I'm so lost right now. The only thing that IP (94.102) relates to is my host itself. Yet i'm not telling it to connect there..
