*** Update ** This is fixed not, but I have another problem.. Check down please.. Thanks for the help ***

Ok, I'm sure this is something simple, but please help
me out here.. I'm getting an error when I first try to run the install.php script.

-I just transferred my domain over and the DNS hasn't been set up yet, but I do have a static IP address and I'm trying to set up my vBulletin Board.

- I set up the Database from the Web Control panel, I entered in the login and password there and it says it was created (this was last night).

- I am getting the following error :

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@neighborspeak.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

- Could this be because of my DNS or is there something I'm missing?
Here is my config.php:

// type of database running
// (only mysql is supported at the moment)
$dbservertype="mysql";

// hostname or ip of server
$servername="localhost";

// username and password to log onto db server
$dbusername="neighborspeak";
$dbpassword="****";

// name of database
$dbname="neighborspeak";

// allow password viewing / editing in control panel
// 0 = not visible or editable
// 1 = not visible, but can be edited
// 2 = visible and can be edited
$pwdincp=0;

// technical email address - any error messages will be emailed here
$technicalemail = "dbmaster@yourhost.com";

// use persistant connections to the database
// 0 = don't use
// 1 = use
$usepconnect = 1;

Thanks,

Josh

I've also tried this by entering in the IP address in the $servername field.

Do you get this error trying to access the control panel?

Don't I need to do an install before I can get to the control panel?

Sorry you get this error from running install.php?

What does (yourforumdir)/phpinfo.php return?

Now I am getting the following error :

Warning: Can't connect to MySQL server on '216.71.73.239' (111) in /home/www/neighborspeak/forums/admin/db_mysql.php on line 37

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/www/neighborspeak/forums/admin/db_mysql.php on line 46

The database has failed to connect because you do not have permission to connect to the server. Please go back to the last step and ensure that you have entered all your login details correctly.

Click to go to the vBulletin website

Are your username and database name really the same? I would think that that would be the problem. The username needs to be the name and password that allow acces to the database.

All fixed, somehow the $Servername changed to the IP and not LocalHost

All Done!

Thanks for all the help,

Josh
