Installing VBulletin

[Jamie Holle]

VBulletin Installation

1. Purchase VBulletin from the website or get yourself a nulled copy Download it anywhere to your Computer.

2. Go to the VBulletin folder and navigate to your Includes folder: Desktop > VBulletin 4.x.x > Upload > Includes

3. Find Config.php.new and rename it to Config.php

4. Open Config.php using notepad or whatever software you like to edit with ( does not matter it's only adding some text )

5. You will see something like this:
// ****** DATABASE NAME ******
// This is the name of the database where your vBulletin will be located.
// This must be created by your webhost.
$config['Database']['dbname'] = 'ENTER DB NAME HERE';

6. go to your Web host cPanel and create a new Database and User import them together and give them both full permission.

7. Back to the Config.php File
Find:

//    ****** DATABASE NAME ******
    //    This is the name of the database where your vBulletin will be located.
    //    This must be created by your webhost.
$config['Database']['dbname'] = 'ENTER HERE'; 

Where it sais ENTER HERE put the database name you created

Find:

//    ****** MASTER DATABASE USERNAME & PASSWORD ******
    //    This is the username and password you use to access MySQL.
    //    These must be obtained through your webhost.
$config['MasterServer']['username'] = 'USERNAME';
$config['MasterServer']['password'] = 'PASSWORD'; 

Now where it sais USERNAME enter the one you create with the database and
enter the password you Made where it sais PASSWORD.

Save it and close it.

8. now depending how you want to do this for your website I have always made a folder called /forum move every file from your /upload file to the /forum file.

9. .ZIP the /Forum File and upload it to your /public_html folder within your web host.

10. Extract the forum.zip file and your nearly done!

11. Go to http://www.yourwebsite.com/forum/install/install.php and FOLLOW the steps from there it's easy enough.
