Welcome to my guide to use Vbulletin

Lets Start.

Assuming you have downloaded Vbulletin from the site. (You need to buy it)

First UnZip your files like this.



Woot You Unziped Files.

Now go to this folder.

Vbulletin > Uploads > Includes

And look for Config.php.new or something. Rename it to Config.php



Ok, Time for fun part. Your hosting when you bought it should have given you FTP Details.

For the client i suggest use CoreFTP or FireFTP (Addon to FireFox).

Before we Upload go to: Upload > Includes > Config.php > Right Click > Edit

Go onto your Cpanel and make a database and give it a user/password.

Now place those settings into it:

Following Info Leeched

$config['Database']['dbname'] This value should be altered to state the name of the database that will contain your vBulletin installation on the database server.
$config['Database']['technicalemail'] An email address should be entered here. All database error messages will be forwarded to the email address provided.
$config['MasterServer']['servername'] This sets the address of your database server. On most installations the database server is located on the same computer as the web server, in which case the address should be set to 'localhost', otherwise use the address of the database server as supplied by your web host.
$config['MasterServer']['username'] This variable contains the username provided to you by your host for connecting to your database server.
$config['MasterServer']['password'] The password that accompanies the database username should be entered here.

Back to Non-Leech Bit.

So get on your FTP and find the foler [UPLOAD] On your FTP in YOUR SYSTEM.

Now Upload like this.



Uploading takes a bit of time so grab a coke.

After its uploaded Assuming you've done everything correct you should go to:

www.wtfisyoursite.com/install/install.php

Now you should get:



Enter the customer number that Vbulletin gave you.

Now you will be presented with the most basic shit ever.

Keep Clicking the Next Button until you get presented with a list. It will ask for your Database User/Password and Host.

Go to your Sites Cpanel/Direct Admin and Create a new Database with the info you can remember.

Go back to the installation Script and enter this in.

Host: localhost
User:
Password

Good! Now keep clicking next. It will now have installed!

Congrats. You have installed Vbulletin (the shittiest forum software to date)
