I get this strange error and I have set up proper permissions and setup config.php with the correct username, databasename and password.

It looks like it is trying to access info I didn't put in (username below is strange)

:x Can anyone help?

Warning: Access denied for user: 'qªl¶‰Þ@localhost' (Using password: YES) in /home/capstone/capstonemi-www/postnuke/html/pnadodb/drivers/adodb-mysql.inc.php on line 170

1. when you look at the content of config.php, do the pnconfig['dbpass'] and pnconfig['dbuname'] entries look encoded?

2. What is the value of the pnconfig['encoded'] entry?

dbpasss and dbuser look normal

The pnconfig encoded entry is 1

When you say normal to you mean plain text? If so the the encoded value is wrong.

Encoded = 1 means that the username and password are encoded in the config file.

Encoced = 0 means that the username and password in in plain text in the config file.

Set the encoded value as necessary. If you need it as unecoded then you can use the Swiss army knife tool to re-encode the values later.

Hope this helps.
