Well after many attempts on trying to get this working with your tutorial Nakkid I just couldn't get it to work, I've been doing everything perfectly. So I uninstalled everything, and I decided to try PhpTriad. And I must say, not only did it work (with 2.2.6), but it was MUCH easier to install
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quick little tutorial on how to get this working with PhpTriad:
1. Install PhpTriad (
http://sourceforge.net/projects/phptriad/)
2. Goto
C:\apache\mysql\bin\ and run
winmysqladmin
3. If it asks you for a username or password, enter (using Nakkid example)
root for username and
password for the password.
4. Still in
winmysqladmin, goto the
databases tab, and right click on your computer name, then select
create database. Call it
vbulletin.
5. Now in
C:\apache\htdocs create a folder called
forums, then upload all the vbulletin stuff in there.
6. Goto your
start menu > PHPtriad > Apache Console > Stop Apache. (this step might now even be needed, but was for me)
7. Now go to
start menu > PHPtriad > Apache Console > Start Apache
8. Apache will come up in a window, simply minimize it.
9. Goto
http://localhost/forums/admin/install.php, and you're done!
This doesn't require any moving files or file modifications, and didn't give me any errors either
Thanks to eiSecure for providing the info on PHPtriad!
