XF 1.5 The table prefix or database name is not correct.

[Semper Fidelis]

1. I installed xenforo on my dev site. It is up and operational.
2. I am trying to import my vBulleting site from Tools > Import External Data > Vbulletin 4
3. I entered the credentials for the vBulletin 4 dB I want to import.
4. I get the error: The table prefix or database name is not correct.
5. I've checked and re-checked the host name, username, database name and password. There is no prefix for the database I'm importing.
6. Both databases are on the same host and I can't figure out what's going on.

I've searched the forums and find no "trick" as to why I keep getting this message.

Can you screenshot the details you are entering for each field (you can obfuscate any sensitive details)?

What version of MySQL is installed on the server?

Presumably by same host, you mean a hosted serve, and not localhost?

mySQL 5.5

Same hosted server

Can you show the list of tables in the source database?

I figured out the problem. The source database was an incomplete dB that failed during sql import. It's resolved now.
