Ok! Let's start: Cool
1. Open root catalogue of VBulletin
2. Enter into the "UPLOAD" folder, then - "INCLUDES"
Code:
Upload=>includes

3. Find "config.php.new" file inthere and rename it into "config.php"
Code:
config.php.new=>config.php

4. Open the file and configure it. You'll see inthere:

A.
Code:
$config['Database']['dbtype'] = 'mysql';
- If you are using another Data Base, enter it's type instead of mysql.
Code:
$config['Database']['dbtype'] = 'your_database_type';

B.
Code:
$config['Database']['dbname'] = 'base';
- Enter your database name instead of base in the row.
Code:
$config['Database']['dbname'] = 'your_database_name';

C.
Code:
$config['Database']['tableprefix'] = ' ';
- Choose your table prefix and enter it in the and of the row.
Code:
$config['Database']['tableprefix'] = 'your_table_prefix';

D.
Code:
$config['Database']['technicalemail'] = 'dbmaster@example.com';
- Enter your e-mail address and you'll resave a letter any time you'll have any trouble with database.
Code:
$config['Database']['technicalemail'] = 'your_e-mail@address';

E.
Code:
$config['MasterServer']['servername'] = 'localhost';
$config['MasterServer']['port'] = 3306;
- here you must enter your host name or IPaddress and port of DB server.
Code:
$config['MasterServer']['servername'] = 'your_host_name';
$config['MasterServer']['port'] = your_port_number;

F.
Code:
$config['MasterServer']['username'] = 'root';
$config['MasterServer']['password'] = '';
- here you enter your database username and password.
Code:
$config['MasterServer']['username'] = 'your_database_username';
$config['MasterServer']['password'] = 'your_database_password';


5. Upload all the files to your server.
6. Run in browser directory to the "install.php" file (it's in the "install" folder):
Code:
http://yoursite.com/...../install/install.php
or
Code:
http://yoursite.com/install/install.php

7. Run 13 installation steps and configure your site in adminCP.

Don't forget to delete your "install" folder after successfull installation!!!!

I hope - this explanation will help you Wink

Please, write the directory of this config.php file... I can't understand which one is it Pray
Is it in this directory root=>includes?
Aalia
I already understood my mistake. U see I didn't install the forum, and just start trying to install the portall without it=)
Aalia
Damn! I still can't install it...
Now, when I start to install the VBulletin Portal, I get this massege on the 2ond step -
Code:
Step 2) Connect to the database

Attempting to attach to database

The database has failed to connect because you do not have permission to connect to the server. Please confirm the values entered in the vBulletin 'includes/config.php' file.


What should I do? My cpnfig file in forum is correct... Crying or Very sad

What about your portal config.php? Which version is your VBulletin?
Aalia
In portal config there is no database functions in it.
It's vBulletin_3.5.0.b.1.null

VB is strictly forbidden on FRIHost servers. Installing it can get your account deleted instantly specially the 'nulled' version. So I hope you are not trying to install it on your FRIHost account.

Ummm...What if not nulled? Rolling Eyes

Not nulled means you are going to buy the license.

Though I aint seen anyone who has bought it yet but still if you do that, you must ask for permission to host it in "request an account change" forum and you must prove the license to us.

Please note, you are NOT allowed to host the vb/ipb forum untill you show the license and have the permission of admins even if you have bought it.
Aalia
Well ok.. Rolling Eyes
ahmad`
you can use "php nuke" Aalia
srijit
vBB costs abt 160$ outright. you get a years free upgrade and support. if you can afford that then you can also afford paid hosting. otherwise use free alternatives like SMF or phpbb

Where can I get it and how to install it, pls, help me.
n0obie4life
PHP Nuke is NOT a forum, instead it's a portal..well, with a forum addon.

If you want a forum, I'd suggest phpBB 2 or myBBoard.

www.mybboard.com
www.phpbb.com

Their installation tutorials made by me can be found here for phpBB and here for myBB

If you still want phpnuke, the URL is - http://phpnuke.org/
