    the table prefix would be the only other thing you may need to edit, other than that just placing the db, username, pass, in and you should be able to install.

    Have you asked at vbulletin.com?

    hey kevin! i have lot of experience with vbulletin. You just have to put DB name, Db user name, Db password. And leave the rest.... Your forum will be installed without any problem. The other options are for advanced users..


    I think may be helpful for you....

    He most probably hasn't. Because he can't. He's got a V-Bulletin Script (vBulletin.Forum.v4.0.2.incl.KeyGen.PHP.NULL-DGT), and those using nulled versions of vBulletin don't get customer accounts, and receive no official support. That's why they try their luck on non-vbulletin forums as on vbulletin.com they would show up as non-licensed members and would be ignored by the vbulletin staff.

    I know vbulletin may be expensive to buy but as a software developer myself, I know what it feels like to see your work being nulled.

    From what I know:

    1.) $config['Database']['dbtype']
    Type of database server. Typically MySQL

    2.) $config['Database']['tableprefix']
    This is the prefix you would like before your Vbulletin tables. Handy for combining databases. A normal table would look like this "posts" if you add a prefix of 123_, your tables would appear as "123_posts"

    3.) $config['Database']['force_sql_mode']
    Used for Vbulletin Compatibility. You'll likely never need to change this.

    4.) $config['MasterServer']['usepconnect']
    Used for persistent connections.

    5.) $config['Misc']['admincpdir']
    If you rename your admincp directory for security reasons, enter it here.

    6.) $config['SpecialUsers']['canviewadminlog']
    Admin users that can view the admin logs.

    7.) $config['SpecialUsers']['canpruneadminlog']
    Admin users that can edit/prune the admin log.

    8.) $config['SpecialUsers']['canrunqueries']
    Admin users that can run DB queries.

    9.) $config['SpecialUsers']['undeletableusers']
    Users that are uneditable. Set the ID of the super-admin here for enhanced security.

    10.) $config['SpecialUsers']['superadministrators']
    Users that are classified as super-administrators

    11.) $config['Mysqli']['charset']
    Not sure on this one =P

    12.) $config['Mysqli']['ini_file']
    Also, ot sure on this one
