New Server, site works for some and not for others

Thanks, ok with go daddy do i have make a mySQL database? and how?

I think you need to get GoDaddy to help you fix the mysql configuration problem.

I don't understand the last question, did you not import your database from the old site?

[FanJournal]

Do you think that could be the problem? I uploaded the vbulletin.sql file to the directory folder and never made a mySQL database, if so is there anything special i need to do? The co-owner of the site set everything up last time and he isnt on the site anymore so this is my first time doing this..
btw thx for everyones help appreciate it.

you got to setup your database first.Import the database,Then go to your config.php put your database info then you are set.

ok made my database,

it says

MySQL Database Information
Status:
Pending Setup
Host Name:
Pending Setup
Database Version:
5.0
Description:
Inthagame

I put that info in config.php ? (when its finished setting up)

Well, godaddy, they are about the nicest host when it comes to importing db backup files, they have to many limits and you will most likely have to use "bigdump" to import the backup anyways if its over say 32mb in size.

You can setup a new db in the godaddy control pane l of your account, add a user and passwd as well, as pb2k3 stated you will need to add that info after you setup the new user, passwd & db. to the config.php file of vb.

Edit to add:
As you posted while i was typing, you can ignore some of my post, add the username, passwd & databse name to your config.php file and resave it to the server.

You can try importing thru phpmyadmin which is also in your hosting panel, import the db file from your computer, as i said tho, if its to large, its going to fail.

ok i tried to import through phpmyadmin but didnt work so how do i edit/add the info to my config.php file?

[vbplusme]

You will need to remove that vbulletin.sql file you uploaded, that is a bad thing to have on your server loose like that ... anyone can access it where it is.

Edit: Sorry I was away for a few minutes, if you are going to use BigDump to import your database, you can use the file you have already uploaded and move it to a folder called bigdump. here is the download link for bigdump

As i stated in my last post, importing the db was almost guaranteed to fail at godaddy if its over 32mb.

Use bigdump to import it, adding anything to config.php at this point is doesnt really matter until u import the db.

and you gonna have problems becasue it may time out .Do what snake said "Bigdump' you can get it here http://www.ozerov.de/bigdump.php i personality use that.Some may contradict that, but give it a go.Remember to config the file to the database and when finish take it out from you root folder or rename it.

good luck
