Hello I would appreciate knowing what I am doing wrong setting up the above Firstly if I set dbname in vBulletin3 Db and Prefix section WITHOUT 'vb_' then I get RED ERROR when saving (DB - [dbname] - incorrect value. Error: Table dbname.dbuser' doesn't exist) However if I set 'vb_dbname' in the vBulletin3 Db and Prefix section then the error is (Access denied for user 'dbname'@'localhost' (using password: YES) So I believe use of 'vb_' is correct, and so.... I have read Auto-detected values for the field: if there are no choices, it means that your third-party script database is unaccessible with aMember MySQL settings. You can fix it by going to Webhosting Control Panel -> MySQL Databases and allowing access to your third-party script table for aMember's Mysql user (dbname_amemdb), or your can specify MySQL database user, hostname and password on this page specially for use with the integration plugin and press Save button to see new choices. Hosting has cPanel - I have given user "dbname_amemdb" access to "dbname_vbulletin" as well as "dbname_amember" Perhaps I am missing something obvious Look forward to a reply Phil
I know it's early in the new year but I have a launch in 5 days - I would really appreciate feedback please ;-)
couple of things to consider: 1) You have [dbname] listed as your username in your example.. typically your database name and database user are different. 2) Also keep in mind many ISPs include the account name as part of the database and/or username (ie. account_dbuser or account_database) so be sure that you are taking that into account with your configuration settings.
@skippybosco Thanks for getting back to me... 1) I have similar name sets but there is a subtle difference "dbname_amemdb" access to "dbname_vbulletin" as well as "dbname_amember" Did I understand you correctly? 2) I pulled the DB name and username from the config file... do you have any suggestions for double checking my work? Thanks in advance
