The database has failed to connect because you do not have permission to connect to the server. Please go back to the last step and ensure that you have entered all your login details correctly.

Click to go to the vBulletin website

I get this:

You are not running PHP - Please contact your system administrator.

When I go here:

http://localhost/forum/admin/install.php

Any ideas?

I have the prob that when calling my index.php it will not show up in the explorer.Instead of this i get the directoryview and a popup for downloading the php file.

Anyone an idea ?

Restarted Apache and works now.No prob anymore.
