// ****** DATABASE TYPE ******

// Valid options are mysql and mysqli. Try to use mysqli if you are using PHP 5 and MySQL 4.1+
$config['Database']['dbtype'] = 'mysql';
// ****** DATABASE NAME ******
// This is the name of the database where your vBulletin will be located.
// This must be created by your webhost.
$config['Database']['activeuk_forum'] = 'activeuk_forum';

This means that db doesn't exist: 'activeuk_forum'

Change:

$config['Database']['activeuk_forum'] = 'activeuk_forum'; 

to:

$config['Database']['dbname'] = 'activeuk_forum';
