Installation Error

Hi mates. I'm having some trouble installing vb onto my server. It gives me an error on Step two, where it says that it's unable to connect to the database. I've installed vBulletin before, and I can't figure out what the problem is.

This is what the error is:

Quote:

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've checked the values on my config file, but can't seem to figure out the problem. Any help with this? Thanks in advance.

Thnx mate. I fixed that, but now I'm stuck on Step 6. Here's what the error says:

Importing vbulletin-language.xmlfaultCode0faultStringFatal error:Call to a member function escape_string() on a non-object in /home/vol2/byethost18.com/b18_334136/goalforums.net/htdocs/forums/includes/adminfunctions_language.php on line 439

Any suggestions for this?

Thnx,

Whats on that line in your file?

On that line, it says:

Quote:

$skipped_groups[] = $vbulletin->db->escape_string($skipped);

Any help with this please? Thanks
