How can I get vBulletin configured on a 1&1 Managed server?
Last updated: 02/08/2012
For some reason, the mysql 5 configuration on 1&1 managed servers is a little different than the norm. So when setting up vbulletin, you need to modify the settings a little bit, or it will give you a database error. The message is similar to "This is a problem with the database"
The main issue is with the "port" line highlighted below. It should be set as shown, but review all the settings if you have any questions.
// This must be created by your webhost. $config['Database']['dbname'] = 'db000000000';
// If you are unsure of what to put here, leave the default values.
// ****** MASTER DATABASE USERNAME & PASSWORD ****** // This is the username and password you use to access MySQL. // These must be obtained through your webhost.
