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:

My site is http://www.ubertechworld.com
I use MySql 4.1.19
I use PHP 4.4.1

THe IP address is xx.xx.xx.xx
Port 2082

I keep getting this message on step three

Quote:

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.

you changed the wrong things....

example

Code:

$config['Database']['alexkerhead@gmail.com'] = 'dbmaster@example.com';

should have been

Code:

$config['Database']['technicalemail'] = 'alexkerhead@gmail.com';
