problem to install

You need to ensure you have configured /core/includes/config.php with the database details and credentials.

Here are the instructions for a manual installation of vB5, please be sure to carry out EVERY step:

1. Download the newest vB5 release from the members' area. https://members.vbulletin.com

2. Unzip the files and go to the "upload" folder.

3. You need to rename this file:

htaccess.txt

To:

.htaccess
(Note the 'dot' at the start)

4. You need to rename this file:

/config.php.bkp

To:

/config.php

Then, you need to rename this file:

/core/includes/config.php.new

To:

/core/includes/config.php

Then, in that file, you need to complete the following fields:

$config['Database']['dbname'] = 'forum';
Change forum to whatever your database name is.

$config['Database']['technicalemail'] = '[email protected]';
Change the email address to your own.

$config['MasterServer']['username'] = 'root';
Change root to the database username

$config['MasterServer']['password'] = '';
Enter the database password inside the '' marks.

All other fields should be left as default, unless your database is on a separate server, in which case this will need changing:

$config['MasterServer']['servername'] = 'localhost';

5. Upload all files to your server/webspace/whatever and browse to yourforumpath.com/core/install/install.php.

6. Enter your customer number and the installation will proceed.

7. Delete the /core/install directory after the installation has finished.

Ask your hosting provider to enable 'innodb_large_prefix' on your MySQL installation. This should be on by default in MySQL 5.7.7 and higher.

[MrCriticalRx]

i have 10.1.31-MariaDB but nothing

[Mark.B]

You still need to do what was suggested above.

[Wayne Luke]

MariaDB is just a clone of MySQL with a few patches. It has the exact same settings and features. As far as vBulletin is concerned, it is MySQL. There is no difference.

[Wayne Luke]

The problem is exactly the same as before. The fix is the same as I already posted. Once that change is made, the database server needs to be rebooted for it to change effect.

[MrCriticalRx]

talking whit my suport he say
He revisado y soportamos innodb_large_prefix en nuestro hosting compartido, comenta eso con el soporte de vBulletin y de seguro te darán más soluciones respecto a cómo instalarlo con nosotros.

You have reviewed and supported innodb_large_prefix in our shared hosting, comment that with the support of vBulletin and for sure they will give you more solutions regarding how to install it with us.

[Wayne Luke]

If they don't support innodb_large_prefix, you will have to find a new hosting provider. That is the only solution.

[MrCriticalRx]

nono they support it

[Wayne Luke]

The error message states it is not supported on the database server you are using. If it were supported, this error wouldn't occur.

[MrCriticalRx]

which version of php requires the latest version of vbulletin

[Wayne Luke]

This isn't a PHP issue. This a database issue. For PHP, we require a minimum version of 5.6.30. We require a minimum of MySQL 5.5.18 or MariaDB 10. Using MySQL 5.7 provides the best performance at this time.
