Ok i need some help with the config.php file. I am install vbulletin 3.7.6 nulled version from GYSn. I know i have to edit the config.php file to get it to work.

I have hit step 2 in the vbulletin installation and hit an error.
Step 2) Connect to the database

Attempting to attach to database

Error description: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'root'@'75.126.138.75' (using password: NO) /www/zxq.net/i/p/o/ipodhacks/htdocs/upload/includes/class_core.php on line 316

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.

I do not know what i need to edit and how to do it. Please help me.
 
You should wait at least 24 hours before bumping your posts!

You need to edit your include/config.php file, you need to put in your database name, your user DB username and password, look in your config file its has instructions in it on how to do it.

Here are the basics:

search for something like this:
PHP: 
$config['Database']['dbname'] = 'root';

Replace root with your db name.

search for something like this:
PHP: 
$config['MasterServer']['username'] = 'Your_username';
$config['MasterServer']['password'] = 'Your_password';

Replace your username and password with yours.
 
You first need to create a mySQL database with a username and a password (this will be done by either by your webhost or by you if you have cPanel). After you make the database, open the config.php file and edit the places..

Code: 
//	****** 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'] = '[b][color=Red]write your database name here[/color][/b]';

Code: 
//	****** TECHNICAL EMAIL ADDRESS ******
	//	If any database errors occur, they will be emailed to the address specified here.
	//	Leave this blank to not send any emails when there is a database error.
$config['Database']['technicalemail'] = '[b][color=Red]write your email here[/color][/b]';

Code: 
//	****** 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'] = '[b][color=Red]write the database username in here[/color][/b]';
$config['MasterServer']['password'] = '[b][color=Red]write the database password in here[/color][/b]';

If you do these steps correct, this will be enough to install a vBulletin. Hope you figure it out. If you still can't, I can try to help you. I can try install it for you, but yes, its an issue of trust. I am willing to help if you want..
Good luck

ok well you guys are really nice on his help but this isnt his problem judging by his error he already knows how to do these steps

the reason this is happening michigan because when you made the username you didnt give him permissions to access the database you created in order to setup the tables in your sql. im not sure if your using cpanel or an off brand system from some cheap company.

since im the owner of AmpedHosts and we offer cpanel, I can create and set this all up for you for no charge if you had hosting with me.

I think it is:
Access denied for user 'root'@'75.126.138.75' (using password: NO) /

He hasn't set the variables, but yes he may not have set permissions either.
