Please help if you know the problem

tried rebooting server?

*sigh* it didn't work

You recently install imagecreatetruecolor?

nope not recently, it's from the beginning a server to server transfer and can't get the new database to work on the new server

oh, then you probably need to check your paths, and may possibly need to update htaccess

Or did you recently do an upgrade and forget to change the file name of includes/config.php.new to config.php?

Thanks for all suggestions and ideas :winkwink:

But it's not working....

Could it be that I need to install vbulletin fresh on the server and then change to the new imported database ?

I have just copied the forum by ftp with flashfxp

Can't hurt to try.

your paths are incorrect

either you gave it partial paths and it needs full paths, or vice versa

but that IS the issue

btw, sure this is correct? /usr/home/mysite/public_html/includes/config.php

best to post on their board - you will have an answer in 5 minutes

goodluck

I thought I was gonna start out fresh, but nono. I didn't get far!

Seems everything is going against me since thursday when my server went offline.

I uploaded a fresh install of vbulletin not the latest version but close - 3.6.8

I prepared the config.php file and uploaded that. And at the 2nd page of the installer i get this shitty message:

Attempting to attach to database

Error description: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client /usr/home/mysite/public_html/includes/class_core.php on line 274

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 have installed plenty of scripts im my days but these last days nothing has worked as I wanted.

Can any mysql expert see what im doing wrong?

Strange. Are you sure that you have MySQL 4.0.16 or greater?

*COUGH*PHP GD EXTENSION*COUGH*

It was a server problem all from the beginning, that's why it wouldn't connect correctly with the database.

Thanks for helping out though :thumbsup

:1orglaugh excellent advice
