hey I am trying to do a postnuke installation now, I gave up with phpnuke since it sucks, and I am trying to install postnuke but I got an error when I was going through the install process and I'm not sure what it means. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Warning: mysql_pconnect(): Access denied for user: 'i5d-stud_Nuke@df44' (Using password: YES) in /home/i5d-stud/public_html/html/install/newinstall.php on line 37

Warning: mysql_query(): Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO) in /home/i5d-stud/public_html/html/install/newinstall.php on line 38

Warning: mysql_query(): A link to the server could not be established in /home/i5d-stud/public_html/html/install/newinstall.php on line 38
Unable to make database

That error means that the username, password, and/or the host you have provided in the Postnuke installation is wrong.

I think you have a problem with the "host", the error indicates that you provided "df44" as the host, which imho sounds a bit wrong.

Check that info again!
