- Unfortunately, Microsoft has added a clever new
- "feature" to Internet Explorer. If the text of
- an error's message is "too small", specifically
- less than 512 bytes, Internet Explorer returns
- its own error message. You can turn that off,
- but it's pretty tricky to find switch called
- "smart error messages". That means, of course,
- that short error messages are censored by default.
- IIS always returns error messages that are long
- enough to make Internet Explorer happy. The
- workaround is pretty simple: pad the error
- message with a big comment like this to push it
- over the five hundred and twelve bytes minimum.
- Of course, that's exactly what you're reading
- right now.

error log in a zip file if it helps

What version of IIS is your webserver running?
What Database software are you using?

Based on the error, there might be an issue with your IIS configuration.

It looks like the files are corrupt, or didn't fully upload to the server. I would re-download the package from vb.com and then reupload everything and try again

ok so you are running Apache not IIS.
Make sure the file permissions are all correct. File should be 644 and folders 755

It looks like you are using table prefix in the database. Make sure that $config['Database']['tableprefix'] is correctly set in core config.php.

looking at this you need to set your prefix in config.php as
$config['Database']['tableprefix'] = 'my database';

seems odd to have a space in it though...

An error has occurred with your database. Please contact vBulletin Support for assistance.

Module: install, Step 2 Database Error:1064

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'databaseaccess ( userid INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT '0', nodeid SMALLINT UNS' at line 3

Query:

CREATE TABLE my databaseaccess (
userid INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
nodeid SMALLINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
accessmask SMALLINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
PRIMARY KEY userid (userid, nodeid)
) ENGINE = InnoDB

You do not enter "my database" into that line... you enter what *your* database prefix is. He was giving an example.

You need to log into your database and check the vBulletin tables for a prefix in the names. For example check the event table, anything in the name before the word event, is the prefix.

So if your table is my_event then your prefix is my_

Just specify 'vb_' or something as long as it doesn't have a space. This will be prepended in your database table names. For example, node table will become vb_node.

Normally, the first table in your database should be called "access". However, if you are using a prefix, as an example a prefix of "vb_", then the first table would be called "vb_access". So, what is the name of the first table in your vbulleitn database?
