Please confirm the values entered in the 'includes/config.php' file."I have created a MySQL database, and I've got PHP on my side. Please help!!!

    If you open a ticket with vB, they install at no charge I think. (IPB does this, anyway)

    Please check your mysql user and password in your config.php file. Make sure your database is available to access to.

    hello!
    this is not a big issues,
    just create a new database using cpanel, and then create a new user and password for that user, after that give all privileges to that user. And then to your upload folder, then navigate to includes folder, Find a file name "config.php.new" and rename this file to config.php, after renaming open the config.php file using wordpad or dreamweaver, or coda if you using mac. Then put the the databse name, dbuser name, and dbpass details. there
    then refresh your page.
    This problem will be solved. If you need any additional help, then pm me.
    Thanks
