i cannot install vbulletin 4.2.3 on godaddy linux hosting ..

Due to the following errors, the install/upgrade can not continue:

Database connection failed due to unexpected error:
(1044) Access denied for user 'mannyforum'@'localhost' to database 'forum'
Please ensure that the database and server is correctly configured and try again

You need to provide vBulletin with correct login information to your database. What you entered into config.php seems to be wrong. If you don't know this information, godaddy can tell you (we can't).

i enter all details ..

// ****** MASTER DATABASE SERVER NAME AND PORT ******
// This is the hostname or IP address and port of the database server.
// If you are unsure of what to put here, leave the default values.
//
// Note: If you are using IIS 7+ and MySQL is on the same machine, you
// need to use 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost
$config['MasterServer']['servername'] = 'localhost';
$config['MasterServer']['port'] = 3306;

// ****** MASTER DATABASE USERNAME & PASSWORD ******
// This is the username and password you use to access MySQL.
// These must be obtained through your webhost.
$config['MasterServer']['username'] = 'mannyforum';
$config['MasterServer']['password'] = 'Rangeelaforum050';

You really should not post passwords openly.

Anyway, something's wrong with those credentials, since they do not work.

On godaddy you need to change localhost
$config['MasterServer']['servername'] = 'localhost';
