i never use vbulletin before, as it needs to pay. i only used most freeware forum. but even freeware forum do include install script and mysql query script, i hoped vbulletin should do have one too. just try to find install.php or read thru the readme.txt or something which developer note under vbulletin root folder. i'm sure that trap17 host do support for vbulletin.

vBulletin should run the same as any other forum

You should upload all the files in a directory in your public_html folder, while uploading you should of uploaded some sort of install.php or anything that contain the word install, e.g. IPB comes with an sm_install.php.

Point your browser to the install file to where you uploaded it (should be with the index.php or something) it will then tell you if you need to CHMOD any files, e.g the config file.

Then create your sql database and input the correct information into the install form and hopefully the vBulletin software should automatically create the tables in your database

Hope this helped.

These info can be taken from your cpanel... first, go to your cpanel and click the 'My SQL Database', then create a new database and lets say its name 'vb3', then it'll be prefix with your cpanel username(c3nar1us).
Then your Database name is 'c3nar1us_vb3'

Create a new SQL user with username 'vb3' and it'll be prefix and it'll become 'c3nar1us_vb3', and make a password with lets say 'password'

Server type and server IP address can be get from your cpanel. Mine will be : 'rhino' as server type and IP is '69.50.188.18' View this, those circled in red are the ones you need.


Database server type?
rhino

Database server hostname / IP address?
69.50.188.18

Database username?
c3nar1us_vb3

Database password?
password

Database name?
c3nar1us_vb3

Those in red you have to get them from cpanel as it varies. Hope this help and any queries feel free to ask...

   For those of you who are hosted on Trap17 and using phpBB3.0.x you might want to consider adding

   which adds a question like "can you see through glass?" (not actual example, result may vary),
   according to many people who have tried the mod, it is REALLY useful at keeping low-medium level
   advanced bots at bay, although some extremely complex advanced bots may still get through... I
   personally don't have this mod, but I would install it if I have the time to... #2 "Evi...
