Hi everyone,
My name's Tyler and I currently run a website for my online gaming guild. We are very happy with the vBulletin demo we tried and I recently purchased a vBulletin license. I own a .com name and use SmartFTP to upload files.

I have been using the manual and so far have had success, except that when I get to step 4 (it might be 5, I'm not sure), I run into this error: "MySQL Error : No database selected". The technical support at vBulletin told me I had to create a database and a username; I have already created a database, but I don't know how to create a user. I looked at the online manual, and it has four options:

Setting-up a MySQL Database on the Command Line
Setting-up a MySQL Database in cPanel
Setting-up a MySQL Database in Plesk
Setting-up a MySQL Database in Ensim

I don't have any clue what any of these means. Even after clicking through the links, I don't know what cPanel is, if I have one, or where to find it. Can I get any help?

Thanks, kind of desperate here!!

Tyler

Hello
Cpanel is a panel for you to control your hosting account. If you really do not know a bout database, cpanel and such things, I think you should hire vbulletin installation service.

Which server service are you using?

Hi - I already hired them, and then the old guild I was a part of fell through, which is why I am trying to learn how to do this myself. I am not made out of money and the installation service is not cheap =)

Please contact your host to ask which procedures are needed to create a database (and user) on your server. Some server scripts automatically create a user when creating a database.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
