I'm finally trying vBulletin and am stuck on editing the config.php file.

I've got the database setup (attached db.jpg) and am following the instructions (attached config.php) to edit the config file.

1. What's the difference between 'Database' and 'dbname'?

2. What's the difference between 'Masterserver' and 'servername'?

Thanks!

Quickly looking over the config.php file, looks like each place you put in your settings looks like this:

Code:
$config['Database']['dbname'] = 'forum';

The only thing you should be concerned with changing would be where it says forum.  Some scripts will work with just the name or user there and others might need to have the prefix like "cpanelusername_databasename" or "cpanelusername_databaseuser".  Tht is about where my expertise with vB ends though. Smile  Hopefully that information is some help to you though.   Thumbs Up

ooooh....thanks!  I was thinking what's to be edited was what's in the brackets. 

...back to tweaking Smile

Not a problem.   Thumbs Up  Haven't had much experience with vB (should play with it more) but with most other scripts this seems to be the case.  Hope it works out for you - and if you run into any other snags or cool fixes to other problems you might run into be sure to let us know.
