Whats up everyone, thanks for your help...

SO I moved a VB 4 install from one host to another...

- Copied all files via FTP
- Exported DB via MyPHP
- Imported DB via MyPHP
- Updated config file (Database location, UN/PW)

And now when I browse to the URL I get redirected to the install URL that is non existent..

Any ideas?

Did you change file paths and update file permissions? Are the urls exactly the same? Are you sure you uploaded all the files? Try reuploading.

Paths are the same, all files are uploaded.

the install system only triggers when it can't find required tables. So checking your config file is good advice.

if I had to guess these are possible problems:
1. Database wasn't a complete backup
2. table prefix is wrong

Great ideas - thank you. I'm going to check the Table Prefix now.

I am trying to figure out how to check this via phpmyadmin, pointers?

It's not a phpmyadmin setting, its a config setting. To figure out what the table prefix is look at the vbulletin tables names and see what is in front of user, or usergroup, or forum, etc, if there's something in front of the table names above you need to add it into your config.php file.
