Did you check if you entered the correct values for your database you want to use with vB5 in config.php? Looks like there are wrong parameters in config.php concerning your database connection.

Thanks for the reply

I was runnning vb 3.2

upgrade to 3.8 no worries all worked fine

However to upgrade to 5, my host had to change the server to one that would support php 5

since then i've not been able to run 3.8 or 5

Did you copy the database too when moving the server?

I backed the vb 3.8 database up, then deleted it ?

Your error message indicates that you're using the wrong information for the database forum.

Are you sure your MySQL information is correct?

What does your /core/includes/config.php look like?

Remove your passwords from that post, in fact change them now that you have posted them on here if they are the actual ones you are using.

[ianltc]

I would still bet that there is something wrong with the database information in that specific config.php file. Are you positive you got the correct informations from your provider?

$config['MasterServer']['servername'] = 'ldb504.securepod.com';
$config['MasterServer']['port'] = 3306;

Are you using a remote MySQL server? Try leaving the values above as the default and see if that works for you. (localhost would be the default value)

[ianltc]

Thanks i'll try that

these are now the error message i get now with leaving the default in?

use this script

https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php/407199-makeconfig-php-Build-your-2-config-php-files-in-1-step

and put the script in /core/install

it does all the config settings for you, all you need to enter is the database details
