[Forum] Error During Install

[X-BHP]

Hi,

The following notice appear while intalling VBulletin.

Attempting to attach to database
Error description: mysql_connect() Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) .../includes/class_core.php on line 311
The database has failed to connect because you do not have permission to connect to the server. Please confirm the values entered in the 'includes/config.php' file.

Any idea where I've gone wrong?

Can I not manually make the database?

You did not edit the config.php file and add your mysql username, password, and database name.

Username/password for database that you have entered in the config.php file are wrong. Double check them.

lol... Will check that out now.

Never said anything within the manual.

Quote the readme:

First, unzip the vBulletin zip file you downloaded from the members' area to your hard disk and then open the 'upload/includes/' folder. In this you will find config.php.new. You should rename this to config.php and then open it in a text editor.

The config.php file is commented throughout, so you should be able to work out what values to enter for the variables yourself. When you have finished, save the file and then upload the entire contents of the 'upload/' folder to your web server.

Enter the values needed...

Good Man.
