I just baught and downloaded vbulletin(owner license) today, and I am currently trying to edit the config.php.new(renamed to config.php) file.
I entered all the correct information and uploaded it to the includes directory and I cannot get it to go past step 3 in the install window.
Here is the config.php file(password removed of course)
PHP Code:

// ****** USERS WITH QUERY RUNNING PERMISSIONS ******
// The users specified here will be allowed to run queries from the control panel.

// If you need to set the default connection charset because your database
// is using a charset other than latin1, you can set the charset here.
// If you don't set the charset to be the same as your database, you
// may receive collation errors. Ignore this setting unless you
// are sure you need to use it.
// $config['Mysqli'][''] = 'utf8';
// Optionally, PHP can be instructed to set connection parameters by reading from the
// file named in 'ini_file'. Please use a full path to the file.
// Example:
// $config['Mysqli']['ini_file'] = 'c:\program files\MySQL\MySQL Server 4.1\my.ini';
$config['Mysqli']['ini_file'] = '';

Attempting to attach to database
Error description: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user 'nobody'@'localhost' (using password: NO) /home/ubertec/public_html/forums/includes/class_core.php on line 271
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.

Did I screw the config file up?
Any help would be much appreciated.
