Step 2) Connect to the database

Attempting to attach to database


Warning: mysql_errno(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in C:\Network\Apache2\htdocs\forum\includes\db_mysql. php on line 140

The database has failed to connect because you do not have permission to connect to the server. Please confirm the values entered in the 'includes/config.php' file.

BUT EVERYTHING IS RIGHT

what could I have missed?

if i take out the password I get a totally different error some kind of 1044 error...but if i modify the username and keep a pass it doesnt matter whether or not the information i put in is correct or not i get the same error, i really dont understand what could be wrong...and i dont see anyone else with this error

im running the vb3 rc2

// ****** DATABASE SERVER NAME ******
// This is the hostname or IP address of the database server.
// It is in the format HOST:PORT. If no PORT is specified, 3306 is used.
// If you are unsure of what to put here, leave it at the default value.
$servername = 'localhost';

// ****** DATABASE USERNAME & PASSWORD ******
// This is the username and password you use to access MySQL.
// These must be obtained through your webhost.
$dbusername = 'root@localhost';
$dbpassword = 'password';

// ****** DATABASE NAME ******
// This is the name of the database where your vBulletin will be located.
// This must be created by your webhost.
$dbname = 'vbulletin';

and there is what i have in config.php currently I have tried about every combination of username and password and i have changed localhost to the IP address of my machine and also the 127.0.0.1...it doesnt matter what i changed it to i can change it to any word and i still get the same error
