New installation database connection problem

[snowleopard55]

Greetings--I'm new as a vBulletin owner, but I've been a user of your software for years on other forums and you were my first choice for the forum I'm setting up.

I'm getting an error that my host (BlueHost) and I cannot figure out and hope that you will be able to.

When I run the install script, it gets to step 2 and this happens:

Step 2) Connect to the database
Attempting to attach to database
Connect failed: unexpected error from the database.
Error number: 1046
Error description: No database selected
Please ensure that the database and server is correctly configured and try again.


My configuration settings are these:
$config['Database']['dbtype'] = 'mysqli';
$config['Database']['database'] = 'teamarch_forum1';
$config['Database']['tableprefix'] = 'vB_';
$config['MasterServer']['servername'] = 'localhost';
$config['MasterServer']['username'] = 'teamarch_admin';
$config['MasterServer']['password'] = 'xxxxxxxxxxx'; (i've checked 100 times, it's right)
Attached is a snag of my control panel showing that the user and the database exist.

All other settings are defaults except my email.

Suggestions please?

// This must be created by your webhost.
$config['Database']['dbname'] = '';

do you have that part filled in?

OMG! You did it! I did it! I had overwritten that value somehow and missed getting it back to the right thing.

I'm in and thank you VERY much for your quick response.

You are more than welcome, glad it helped. Every upgrade I managed to mis-spell or change the wrong setting in that file. I am still learning as well.

Enjoy your weekend, play with the buttons. The only way to learn is to use it.
