Before uploading vBulletin to your Server

1. Extract the /upload file to your desktop (DO NOT extract any other files).

2. Upload to your website.

2. Rename /config.php.bkp to /config.php

3. Rename /core/includes/config.php.new to /core/includes/config.php

4. Rename /core/includes/config_cli.php.new to /core/includes/config_cli.php

Uploading vBulletin to your Server

1. Choose a directory location on your server where vBulletin will be installed. This will become your There are basically three choices:

- If vBulletin is going to be the main part of your site, you will install it into the public_html or httpdocs folder that already exists on your site. Some servers also have a www directory link that redirects you to the proper location.

- If you have a pre-existing site then you will want to install vBulletin into a sub-forum. Most people name this directory "forums". You will need to create this directory on your server.

- If you're knowledgable in servers, you can install vBulletin in a sub-domain. You would need to create this on your server before proceeding.

2. On your local computer find your download package and locate the Upload directory. This would be the same folder this file is located. It should be named vB5_Connect_V_L. The V will be the version number and the L refers to your license number.

3. Copy the contents of your local Upload folder to your server into the directory you have chosen. You only need to copy the contents, not the Upload folder itself.

Creating your vBulletin Database

vBulletin stores all of its data in a MySQL database. To install the software you need to create a database for it to use. When creating your database, make note of the Database Server, Database Server Port, Database Name, Database User Name and Database Password. You will need these later. Contact your hosting provider's technical support if you need help with this step.

Running the Install Wizard

1. After uploading the files to your chosen location on your server, open your web browser and enter in the address followed by your vbulletin_root and install/install.php.

- Example: http://www.example.com/core/install/install.php
- Example: http://www.example.com/customfolder/core/install/install.php

2. Since this is your first time installing, the system should automatically redirect you to the Installation Wizard.

2. The first screen of the Wizard will ask for your Customer ID to authorize you.

3. Enter this and click "Begin Install".

4. The Configuration Builder will create the necessary config.php files for you. Fill in the values for:

- Cookie Prefix - Use the default of bb
- Database Type - vBulletin support mysql and mysqli. mysqli is preferred.
- Database Name - The name used when you created the database on the server.
- Table Prefix - Unless you have other applications installed in the same database, it is best to leave this blank.
- Technical Email - Your email address
- Database Server Name - This will be provided by your hosting provider. Most use localhost.
- Database Port # - Use the default port of 3306 unless directed otherwise by your hosting provider
- Database Username - The username specified when you created your database. If you don't know this, contact your hosting provider.
- Database Password - The password specified when you created your database. If you don't know this, contact your hosting provider.
- Admincp Directory - Should specify the default of admincp
- ModCP Directory - Should specify the default of modcp

5. Click "Create Files"

6. The system should create your config.php files for you and present a message of "File Creation Complete".

7. If the system was unable to create your config.php files, please see 'Then you'll need to manually edit the php files'. Follow the FAQ to see how.

8. Return to your install location: http://www.example.com/core/install/install.php.

9. Click "Begin Install".

10. Follow the instructions on the screen. You should encounter two dialog boxes:

- The first will ask for the name of your forums, paths of the forums and webmaster email address.
- The second will ask for information to create your first Administrator user.

Deleting the Install Folder

When you are done installing vBulletin, you need to delete the install directory for security purposes. You will find this directory in the vbulletin_core directory on your server. Delete the entire directory and all of its components. You won't be able to enter your vBulletin Admin Control Panel before you do so.

FAQ

[Q] The installation was unable to install my config.php files, what do I do to fix it?
[A] You need to edit the config.php file, this is what you need to edit:

$config['Database'>['dbname'> = 'forum'; (Leave if you want the folder to be called 'forum')
$config['MasterServer'>['servername'> =
$config['MasterServer'>['port'> = 3306; (Only change if needed to MySQL ports are 3306)
$config['MasterServer'>['username'> = 'root';
$config['MasterServer'>['password'> = '';
$config['Database'>['technicalemail'> = 'dbmaster@example.com';

Once this is all completed you can return to step 8.

[Q] What does Nulled mean?
[A] Nulled just remove the vBulletin's protection. But as soon as your files are inspected by your host it will be clear that you are using a cracked vBulletin! That is the only problem with Nulled vBulletin cracks. So it is highly suggested you make frequent backups.
