    vBulletin 3.0 - falling at the first hurdle!

    I am attempting to install VB3 on my server but I am failing very quickly.
    I have created the database "forum" (xxxxxx_forum) in CPanel and assigned a user and user password.
    However when I go to install the VB scripts I get:-
    ------------------------------------------------------------------
    Parse error: parse error in /home/xxxxxx/public_html/forums/includes/config.php on line 37

    Attempting to attach to database

    Connect failed: unexpected error from the database.

    Error number: 1046

    Error description: No Database Selected

    Please ensure that the database and server is correctly configured and try again.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    CPanel assigns a database named xxxxxx_forum and I have assigned a username xxxxxx_xxxxxx and password xxxxxxxxx
    I have edited the config.php file as per instructions to reflect the above but no joy in installing.
    Anyone any idea what is going wrong?
    I have successfully installed PHPBB before but this is my first attempt at vBulletin.
    Anyone any advice?

    Re: vBulletin 3.0 - falling at the first hurdle!

    When you were editing $dbname = 'forum'; to your own name, make sure you didn't accidentally remove any apostrophes or the semi colon.

    It may also be worth checking line 32 for the same detail.
