Drupal and vBulletin are tightly connected with each other, user accounts and sessions are shared between the two systems. vbDrupal tries to offer the best of both worlds. Only one mysql vb db is required!

vbDrupal is completely free!

Features:

1) Uses vBulletin's DB as the primary database
2) Shared login AND shared session
3) Includes 6 blocks that work on both drupal and vbulletin sides: forums, recent posts, stats, polls, users, birthdays, pm's, etc.
4) Allows comments to come from either vbulletin or drupal
5) Allows posting and promotion of posts to drupal from vbulletin, and vice versa
6) Allows use of VB markup language in Drupal
7) Can synchronize usergroup permissions and roles in both drupal and vbulletin

It sure is. You can show navigation links on left side or right side of the forums. Your choice.

Procedure:

1. Install vbdrupal.
2. Select DefaultTangy as your skin of choice: Administer-->Site Building-->Themes
3. Create Navigation Menu: Administer-->Site Building-->Menus
4. To Place Menu on Left Hand Side of Forum: Administer-->Site Building-->Blocks
5. Search for Navigation Block
6. Select Left Sidebar or Right Sidebar for placement of Navigation Menu.
7. Finally select the appropriate weight value of where you want your menu placed along the left or right hand side.

I'm not sure I understand your error.

It should install without effort.

Let me help you get it going, believe me its worth the effort.

You're combining a stable, mature and heavily supported content management/blogging system with vBulletin, the best most advanced forum in the world.

This is my problems...

Incompatible environment
The following error must be resolved before you can continue the installation process:
Multibyte string input conversion in PHP is active and must be disabled. Check the php.ini mbstring.encoding_translation setting. Please refer to the PHP mbstring documentation for more information. (Currently using Unicode library Error)

the installation manual is stated in my first post above where is says vbDrupal Manuals.

however, if you are still having problems after following the enclosed installation instructions then please feel free to attach your php.ini and this file: sites/default/settings.php i wish to review them

 the procedure for installing vbDrupal into vBulletin is:

1. ftp vbdrupal files directory into your forum root or sub-directory.
2. do a chmod and make the file sites/default/settings.php 777 world writable
3. run install.php script
4. make sure you enter the correct absolute path to vBulletin and press Save configuration

 also what type directory system are you trying to install vbDrupal into?

 1. forum.com - where vbDruapal and vB directories are merged on forum root
2. forum.com/cms - this is the most common config, you can then have cms2, cms3...
3. cms.forum.com - beware subdomain cannot be linked to forum root

Here is what drupal says:

Drupal requires that mbstring must be disabled to run properly. Actually, if you have it enabled, you will have the following message on your setting page...

This is a BAD thing generally because MBString is what displays NON-ASCII characters in PHP. Disabling it may mean that your content will all of a sudden be full of ??? ... FYI

Make sure you have enabled clean url's first.

Place these three lines in a new .htaccess file in the root to get around your issue:

php_value mbstring.http_input pass
php_value mbstring.http_output pass
php_value mbstring.encoding_translation 0

sample generic .htaccess:

Code: 
   php_value magic_quotes_gpc                0
   php_value register_globals                0
   php_value session.auto_start              0
+  php_value mbstring.http_input             pass
+  php_value mbstring.http_output            pass
+  php_value mbstring.encoding_translation   0
 </IfModule>
