(09:49:49 AM) Kashif: i was trying to install vbulletin 4.1.2 but having a problem
(09:50:07 AM) Donald Ha: What is the problem?
(09:50:36 AM) Kashif: cant connect to database
(09:50:46 AM) Kashif: # Error description:
# 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
(09:50:55 AM) Donald Ha: What is the URL where I can see this error?
(09:51:10 AM) Kashif: http://www.kiran-e-sehar.com//forum/install/install.php
(09:51:27 AM) Donald Ha: Thank you.
(09:53:54 AM) Kashif: ?
(09:54:37 AM) Kashif: r u there?
(09:54:48 AM) Donald Ha: YEs I am.
(09:54:52 AM) Kashif: k
(09:54:56 AM) Donald Ha: The issue is, your config file is incomplete
(09:55:16 AM) Kashif: no i damn sure that file is complete
(09:55:30 AM) Donald Ha: I went to public_html/forum/includes/config.php and the only coding in it is this

<?php
/*================================================= =====================*\
|| ################################################## ################## ||
|| # vBulletin 4.1.2
|| # ---------------------------------------------------------------- # ||
|| # All PHP code in this file is
(09:55:34 AM) Donald Ha: That is it.
(09:55:39 AM) Kashif: i cheked atleast 20 times
(09:55:44 AM) Kashif: yes
(09:56:28 AM) Kashif: will u plz tell me
(09:56:34 AM) Kashif: where is problem?
(09:56:34 AM) Donald Ha: The coding is not closed.
It ends in mid-sentence.
This file should have a lot more such as defining the databse to use and the server and the password and....well...a lot more information than what I posted before.
(09:57:04 AM) Kashif: oh
(09:57:13 AM) Donald Ha: Yes.
(09:57:17 AM) Kashif: how can i fix this problem?
(09:57:42 AM) Donald Ha: Find the correct config file. Upload it. Edit it to match your database/user/password/server
(09:58:32 AM) Kashif: i have downloaded this file direct from vbulletin official site
(09:59:45 AM) Donald Ha: Kashif, then maybe something happend but you should get the correct file.
(09:59:56 AM) Kashif:
(09:59:59 AM) Donald Ha: As I said, the config file would have in it the databse information

So all that is in your config.php file is what you posted above? It should look like this - http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/config.php - only with your information in it.

Above code shouldn't be all the text in the config.php file. You must have deleted something.
