mysql connection

[champ48]

Iam first time user installing vBulletin. I pass step l testing PHP install, pass step2checkingdatabase configuration, step3 tries to connect to database & says it is done on status bar but still says trying to connect to database.

I have PHP 4 & msql is 3.23.43. I went to my web control with my ISP & made mysql "vbulletin" Username has to be my host name, moriel. I deleted mysql to see if install would make it. It just goes half way & stops & then will say it is done but nothing happens.

You deleted MySQL? vBulletin won't run or install without it. Reinstall MySQL and try again. If you still have problems please post more info about what exactly you've done and what messages you got.

I made mysql db again. I get through Step 1 & Step 2 of instructions. Then in Step 3 it says Attempting to attach to database . . . & then it goes about half way & then hangs. Then 2 minutes later it says Done on status bar at bottom but the screen still says Attempting to attach to database . . .

Thanks for the help
