    I've got amember installed on a test site but absolutely cannot get it installed on another domain. Here are the problems:

    Let's take vBulletin. So the first thing I did was try to use the database name so I entered it as mysite_vb, which is what it is in cpanel (dummy name). I ended up getting this error:

    DB - [mysite_vb] - incorrect value. Error: Table 'mysite_alogin.mysite_tlfvbuser' doesn't exist

    So I decided to try it using the vb user table, which is what it says "you'll have to enter something like..." so I entered mysite_vb.vb_ and I got this error:

    DB - [mysite_vb.vb_] - incorrect value. Error: SELECT command denied to user 'mysite_amemberusername'@'20.20.20.21' for table 'vb_user'

    Two problems:

    (1) my connection via the config.php is 20.20.20.20 and NOT 21 and
    (2) amember keeps using the amember admin user and not the vbulletin admin user to login according to the error message. It should use mysite_vbadministrator name not the mysite_amemberadministrator user name.

    Can someone help. Somehow this was installed once on the test site on the same server but reinstallation is just impossible. I had to have the guys install it for me and I've installed tons of software. Must be able to understand how to install!

    OK... the key was giving access to amember to every database by using the same admin.
