Do you have MySql spaces avalilbele? Also is that the correct password and username?

 

[moose]

Yeah I do.. I actually think I know why this isnt working.. lemme go check for a sec..

Ok.. how do I make new Database usernames and passwords?

Thanks in advance

Go into the MySQL Databases section of cPanel and just enter a username and password under the users section. That will create a new user. You have to divy out permissions to the database though.

Go into the MySQL Databases section of cPanel and just enter a username and password under the users section. That will create a new user. Thats all you have to do then when you have done that add the user to the database for vBulitan...

.. And, ahem, check the "box" by "all", to give that user all permissions, if you need to.

That is automaticly selected for you by cpanel...

What error message are you getting?

I dont know what is that "something" that bugging the thing coz you did not explain but let me give you a summary of creating database/users.

First, go to cpanel>>MYSQL Databases. To create a database, key in whatever name you prefer and click Add Db. .

Then at Users, key in a username and password and click Add User.

The last thing you need to do is to "connect" the database to the user, both which you created according to earlier steps. Make sure it is tick ALL for the Privileges and click Add User to Db.

If it is "connected" this will appear :

Connection Strings
Perl $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:whatevername_vbulletin:localhost","whatevername_vbulletin","<PASSWORD HERE>");
PHP $dbh=mysql_connect ("localhost", "whatevername_vbulletin", "<PASSWORD HERE>") or die ('I cannot connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db ("whatevername_vbulletin");


Did you follow the steps?

 

[moose]

Yeah, I did that, and now I got this.. :/

Attempting to attach to database

Connect failed: unexpected error from the database.

Error number: 1044

Error description: Access denied for user: 'moosepe_moose@localhost' to database 'forum'

Please ensure that the database and server is correctly configured and try again.

 

[moose]

OK nvm that, I got passed that wall.. now everything is configured and I deleted the install.php file..

But now when I access the board, I get this error.. :/

Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: /home/moosepe/public_html/forum/includes/config.php
Line: 105

I'm still trying to figure out what might cause this.. But yeah, wish me luck..

Glad it is working for you now riginal: Next time you know what to do when you have this type of problem again :grin: Be more patient with the problem too coz i saw your replies all come between 5 to 10 mins coz sometimes it is just a minor human error.

 

[MicrotechXP]

Good now that is working I hope that you will have a good time working with it!

Well, better delete it again since it's illegal

Look here

Note the "Nullified by"

 

[moose]

What does nullify mean? I just got this from a friend.. :/

So.. am I supposed to delete it?
