    vShare only run if your server support all requirements. If you don't know path to ffmpeg, mencoder, flvtool2, etc... installed on your server, ask your server provider.

    Site URL (i.e. http://yoursite.com/vshare)
    Site Path (i.e. /home/yoursite/public_html)
    FFMpeg binary (i.e. /usr/bin/ffmpeg)
    Mencoder binary (i.e. /usr/bin/mencoder)
    Mplayer binary (i.e. /usr/bin/mplayer)
    FLVTool binary (i.e. /usr/bin/flvtool2)

    Make sure that you have typed in the connection information (database name, username, and password) to your database correctly. Otherwise, you will get that error. Did you create the database yourself or did your host do it?

    I CREATED THE DATABASE MY SELF, I AM HAVING THIS PROBLEM NOW

    ERROR: Unable to execute query

    SELECT * from signup where username='' and pwd=''
    Access denied for user 'videozoo'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

    THIS IS MY DATABASE:

    User: videozoo_videozo
    Database: videozoo_videozoo

    AND I KNOW THAT THE PASSWORD IS CORRECT I COPIED THE INFO WHILE CREATING IT TO MAKE SURE I WOULD NOT FORGET

    ON INCLUDE THERE IS A FILE CONFIG.PHP: THIS IS THE SET UP I DID:

    $db_host = "localhost";
    $db_name = "videozoo_videozoo";
    $db_user = "videozoo_videozo";
    $db_pass = "*******";

    IS THAT CORRECT

    I EMAIL THE QUIREMENTS TO MY HOSTING PROVIDER AND THEY SAID THEY MEET THE QUIREMENTS...

    First, stop shouting (typing in all caps). It is considered rude. Secondly, you should NEVER create the config.php file. Rather, it gets created when you do the installation wizard, which it seems as though you didn't do. My suggestion would be for you to delete everything off of your site, reupload your files, change the permissions on the files as per the instructions, then go to your website's URL. It will automatically start the installation wizard and will build the tables needed for your site in the database. The installation wizard will build your config.php file so do not make manual changes to it on installation.
