Cant Upload VB at a New Server>>

Is a prefix added to your Data base name and user name and if so are you adding it in your config file???

eg... prefix_databasename prefix_databaseusername

here it is ....

// ****** DATABASE NAME ******
// This is the name of the database where your vBulletin will be located.
// This must be created by your webhost.
$config['Database']['DB_Name'] = 'forum';

// ****** TABLE PREFIX ******
// Prefix that your vBulletin tables have in the database.
$config['Database']['tableprefix'] = '';

// ****** TECHNICAL EMAIL ADDRESS ******
// If any database errors occur, they will be emailed to the address specified here.
// Leave this blank to not send any emails when there is a database error.
$config['Database']['myemail@xyz.com'] = 'dbmaster@example.com';

// ****** FORCE EMPTY SQL MODE ******
// New versions of MySQL (4.1+) have introduced some behaviors that are
// incompatible with vBulletin. Setting this value to "true" disables those
// behaviors. You only need to modify this value if vBulletin recommends it.
$config['Database']['force_sql_mode'] = false;



// ****** MASTER DATABASE SERVER NAME AND PORT ******
// This is the hostname or IP address and port of the database server.
// If you are unsure of what to put here, leave the default values.
$config['MasterServer']['servername'] = 'localhost';
$config['MasterServer']['port'] = 3306;

// ****** MASTER DATABASE USERNAME & PASSWORD ******
// This is the username and password you use to access MySQL.
// These must be obtained through your webhost.
$config['MasterServer']['DB_username'] = 'root';
$config['MasterServer']['DB password'] = '';

you must have a password then if it not letting you connect, in your config you have no password, unless its easyphp i'm sure you have a password for mysql

guys , help please........................

I knew it. You're overwriting the array key name. You're doing this:

PHP Code:

$config['MasterServer']['DB password'] = ''; 


You need to do this instead:

PHP Code:

$config['MasterServer']['password'] = 'DB Password'; 


This needs to be corrected for every option. I suggest you get a fresh config.php and enter your details correctly.

He also did it with the username.............

PHP Code:

$config['MasterServer']['DB_username'] = 'root'; 


should be

PHP Code:

$config['MasterServer']['username'] = 'DB_username';
