But as it's on domain2, it's automatically called domain2_forum.

What to do in such cases?

(Talking about shared and partially dedicated hosting).

AS far as vB is coded, there is no way to do what you ask because both databases need the same table prefix.

BUT, if you own the 2 boxes, you can always log in as root and set up a new database without a prefix. Or, better the case, add a new prefix matching your box1's prefix.

If you really cant make the slave database name mirror the name of the master DB, you should submit a ticket to vBulletin Support Staff, but actually they will tell you the same thing I did. Maybe you should contact a vB coder and ask for this edit.


Cya!
