i get this error

Step 2) Connect to the database

Attempting to attach to database

Error description: mysqli_real_connect() [function.mysqli-real-connect]: (28000/1045): Access denied for user 'forumnew'@'localhost' (using password: YES) /home/xyz/public_html/forum/includes/class_core.php on line 1112

The database has failed to connect because you do not have permission to connect to the server. Please confirm the values entered in the 'includes/config.php' file.
 
im past this stage now the problem i had was i dnot not realise you had to input your cpanel username in both cases

$config['Database']['dbname'] = 'cpanelusername_forumdbname';

// ****** TABLE PREFIX ******
// Prefix that your vBulletin tables have in the database.
$config['Database']['tableprefix'] = cpalusername_';
 
easy to solve, first of all you make a data base right? then you make a database user BUT you have to give that database user all privileges to edit add remove etc etc to the database if you don't give the database user permisions you will get that error, also remember to put the database user in the config.php along wiht the password of that user and the right database username
