hmmm, I wonder why I keep getting this message, is it that mysql is down? i'm setting up a forum and I can't seem to do it. here's the vbulletin config.php. Please tell me if I did anything wrong. Password I used is the server password given to me by x10hosting, and I used my own email.

// This is the hostname or IP address of the database server.

// It is in the format HOSTORT. If no PORT is specified, 3306 is used.

// If you are unsure of what to put here, leave it at the default value.

$servername = '70.86.136.178:21';

// ****** DATABASE USERNAME & PASSWORD ******

// This is the username and password you use to access MySQL.

// These must be obtained through your webhost.

$dbusername = 'silencea';

$dbpassword = '********';

// ****** DATABASE NAME ******

// This is the name of the database where your vBulletin will be located.

// This must be created by your webhost.

$dbname = 'silencea_forums';

// ****** TECHNICAL EMAIL ADDRESS ******

You have some problems in the script:
$servername = 'localhost';(i think this is where you made a mistake).
The database must be created in cPanel,under Mysql panel(user and password):
$dbusername = '';
$dbpassword = '';
$dbname = 'silencea_forums';(this is correct).
BTW,do you have a licensed vBulletin?
