Ok, couple of issues here... firstly the VBB version is v4.1.7 - not v3.x - the config file references vBulletin 3.6.8.

Secondly, I'm not editing the right file. The one I'm editing is not effecting the live site.

Assuming this is question is still relevant, how can I work my way from the webroot to finding where the config file is actually located? Can I trace it from file to file?

Thanks for your help in any event!

And the conclusion thus far is that the FTP user is incorrect - this is an old mirror of the existing site, fully installed but not connected to live site in any way. Killer.

And final update: success, after receiving the correct FTP info from the site owner.

Thanks, kh99 and Brandon Sheley, for your help with this.
