"You are not authorized to execute SQL queries"

[John Lester]

Yes Dave your userid is 1.

cpanel is not your admin control panel (acp). cpanel is the portal you use to access your entire site via a website url (you'll have to ask your host if you don't know what it is yet).

In order to avoid confusion at this point, just download the file with FTP (I don't like to edit it through a FTP program because it never seems to work properly) and edit it in wordpad or whatever it opens into by default.

Regarding what my userid is, I did what you said, John Lester, in AdminCP, and above my name it says: "User: El Luchador Rubio (id: 1)". Does this mean I would enter "1" in the config.php?

I am very nervous about messing with the config.php file through ftp. Borbole, you say that I could access it through the file manager section in my cpanel? Can you please tell me where I can find that? For example, AdminCP > _______ > __________ ? I looked all through it and I can't see anything that says "File Manager".....

Don''t edit the file through the ftp but use ftp to download the file only in your pc and then open it with a php editor program and do the changes. Then re-upload it back. You don''t have to worry about anything but just in case, make a backup of the file before you edit it though.

About cpanel, it is explained above what it is and where it can be found.

Dave, I just wanted to ask. Do you need to actually execute any queries? If you are hesitant about changing anything you could just use phpmyadmin to execute the queries instead...

PS, you don't need anything special to edit a .php file. Notepad++ works fine.

[Dave234]

So I'm in FTP, and I right-click on config.php. When I click "Download" it comes up with a weird pop-up saying I already have the file, and do I want to replace it?

But then I don't see if it has saved anywhere on my computer.

When I click "View/Edit" it automatically opens in WordPad. I am thinking that "View/Edit" is the right choice? And then what do I do? After adding my userid, do I just drag that WordPad file over "config.php"?

[John Lester]

With your ftp open make sure it's not full screen and just drag the config.php file to your desktop

[Dave234]

AAHH!!! It just messed it up! I dragged it out of the ftp, added the "1" userid, and dragged it back in!!! Now it says on my website

Configuration: includes/config.php exists, but is not in the 3.6+ format. Please convert your config file via the new config.php.new.

Please Help Me!!

Please Help Me, What Can I Do???????? What Exactly Is The Config.php File?????? Is It Like A Standard Template Or Is It Specific To Exactly What I Put On My Site????/ Please!!!!

--------------- Added [DATE]1347148383[/DATE] at [TIME]1347148383[/TIME] ---------------

Does it just involve permissions and stuff? Or does it determine what plugins and content I have on the website? I have another website that is identical to this one, but it has different content.

I also saved a copy of the WordPad that I'd taken when I did "View/Edit" (instead of dragging it off of the ftp).............WHY Is it all messed up now?????

I'm sorry, I don't mean to freak out about this.........but I just spent the entire day today adding posts and content to this website, and it would be a horrible shame if I have to do it all over again. Please help me.

--------------- Added [DATE]1347148416[/DATE] at [TIME]1347148416[/TIME] ---------------

I had dragged it back into the ftp. Is that what messed it up? How can I fix this???

[snakes1100]

Download a fresh copy of config.php from your vbulletin.zip file, edit it with the correct credentials, then upload it via ftp.

or

Post you config.php, minus your details for the db, so we can see what the actual issue is with it.
