vBulletin Won't connect, any reason why?

I have installed all files... created a database, username, and password. I entered in all my values in the config.php file.

Everytime I get to step 3 no matter what I do it says...

Step 2) Connect to the database

Attempting to attach to database

Error description: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) /mnt/gs01/herd04/10478/domains/tennischillout.com/html/includes/class_core.php on line 274

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

Any help is great thanks!

 

it's saying the database can't connect..
You've entered the wrong db/user/pass in the config.php file

 

Make sure you create the database in your cpanel or however you have to do it, and then enter the information in config.php

 

I did creat a db and usernamen and password through my host... i entered it all in correctly into the config file. Hmmm

 

Does the account have read and write access/privs? The error is suggesting they don't

 

I would suggest that you add username_database as your database name if you're using cPanel. For instance, your cpanel username is user and your newly created database name is vbulletin then use user_vbulletin as your database name in config.php. Also, make sure that the user has the required permissions for the database.

 

Upload your config file through the customer area on vBulletin.com and have them take a look at it

 

You have made a database right?

You need to create a database in your cpanel hosting or whatever you use. You just make a simple empty database. Then copy and paste the name of it in the config.php.

 

Is the database located on the same server or on a different one and if later is the case, have you entered the server ip/name?
