I have installed the SMF database into the same one as vB i assume as I gave it the same name, however on "step 1" it says

QuoteSorry, the database connection information used in the specified installation of SMF cannot access the installation of vBulletin 3. This may either mean that the installation doesn't exist, or that the MySQL account used does not have permissions to access it.

The error MySQL gave was: Incorrect database name ''

I am sure I have done everything right and its assumptions of where the forums were located is correct also.

Path to SMF: /home/nutronic/public_html/website/forum
Path to vBulletin 3: /home/nutronic/public_html/website

convert.php was picked up after I had finished the initial installation, I am also using the same password as I did for the original VB database.

its ok i converted to myBB anyway as that gave me no errors, all I had to is place people in the right groups and redo the naming of forums and categories.
