Rename the file to
config.php
Click on the
Edit link to open the file for editing and the text editor will be loaded.
Editing of the 'config.php' file is the most important part of the vBulletin's installation.
First, you have to enter the name of the MySQL database that you have created:
The line should be looking as follows:
Code:
$config['Database']['dbname'] = 'forum';
Then, you have to enter the database username that you have created:
Code:
$config['MasterServer']['username'] = 'root';
The last value that is important to be edited is the password:
Code:
$config['MasterServer']['password'] = '';
Please, be careful not to delete the leading and the trailing
' signs as they are very important too.
Save the file named
config.php by clicking on the
Save button at the end of the editor's form.
Please, note that it is not recommended to edit this file with a Windows text editor, such as Notepad or Wordpad since these editors are saving the files with .php extensions with the "^M" sign in the end of every row and sometimes this is causing problems when they are transferred on a Linux server.
