I am trying to get my new vbulletin license installed to the url in my signature and as you see I'm not doing to well. Is there anything any of you can see which might be the reason for that?

Thanks a lot!

What do I need to fill out?

[Brandon Sheley]

in your congif file you'll need to enter a few things.


database
db name
db pass

webmaster email

thats about it
did you check out the readme for the install ?
I think it's a link to vb.com

So I take it, the forum is working now ?

OK since you ask: No, I've been putting it off but now I'm looking at it again. So I basically give the database whatever name?

*-------------------------------------------------------*/

// ****** DATABASE TYPE ******
// This is the type of the database server on which your vBulletin database will be located.
// Valid options are mysql and mysqli, for slave support add _slave. Try to use mysqli if you are using PHP 5 and MySQL 4.1+
// for slave options just append _slave to your preferred database type.
$config['Database']['dbtype'] = 'mysql';

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

// ****** 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']['technicalemail'] = 'saad2992@gmail.com';

Database Error

[Brandon Sheley]

	//	****** DATABASE NAME ******
	//	This is the name of the database where your vBulletin will be located.
	//	This must be created by your webhost.
$config['Database']['dbname'] = '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']['technicalemail'] = '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']['username'] = 'root';
$config['MasterServer']['password'] = 'pass';

here are the must changes.

there are more later to secure, but you must at least set the bold above

Sorry if I'm not very fast here, but I have just checked the DB and got this report

have you creatged a user for the database in Mysql with a password ? If so you have to take those info over to config.php

this seems to be the problem
