Please confirm the values entered in the 'includes/config.php' file, contact your host if you do not know what they should be.

Sorry but i don't know what you mean

[Zachery]

Did you edit the config.php file before trying to install vBulletin?

[Chatter]

Yes i did, i always edit stuff before i install it

[Zachery]

Then re-edit it and check the settings that you've entered, mysql is saying that they arte wrong.

I'v ready re-edited it about 10 times and still isn't working, should i try a different version?

No, won't matter what version you use if the information is bad, try contacting your webhost for the correct information so they can verify it, or create a support ticket in the members area and include your ftp, hosting control panel, and phpmyadmin login info so we can take a look and try to troulbeshoot.
