I Started Installing it and i am getting this error

Step 2) Connect to the database

Attempting to attach to database

Warning: mysql_errno(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/www/tropical4.freefronthost.com/Vb/Vb/includes/db_mysql.php on line 140

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.

Can you please post a copy of your includes/config.php file? It doesn't seem correct that the path to your vBulletin is /home/www/tropical4.freefronthost.com/... Do you know the specific location on your server where your domain's home folder is?

I'm confused what you mean. You never uploaded your config.php file? You need to specify in that folder where your database is and a username and password for MySQL.

The database name you have there is most likely wrong.
