Problems with moving Vbulletin to a new Server

[dan325ci]

I just moved servers and having problems getting the vbulletin to work.

I backed up the database with the AdminCP function (file size about 19000KB)

I then created a new Mysql database and user (same values as on my old server.)

I then restored the database via SSH as per the online manual.

Now when i go to the site i get a page saying:

"Database error The database has encountered a problem.

Please try the following:

• Load the page again by clicking the Refresh button in your web browser.
• Open the www.mydomain.com home page, then try to open another page.
• Click the Back button to try another link.

The www.mydomain.com forum technical staff have been notified of the error, though you may contact them if the problem persists.

We apologise for any inconvenience."


No mention of any errors specifically related to the vbulletin or mysql. Simply just get that page with that exact message.

Can anyone help?

Check up page source (Ctrl+U or Alt+F3 or Right click\View source) - you can see DB error message

check out your includes\config.php

Ok, i think i solved the problem. It was my config.php file. The username was not entered properly.

Edit: Didnt see your reply. Thanks, you were right, that was it!
