if you are using plain text values for database-user and -password make sure that the encoded var is set to '0'...

Why don't you run install.php and do it that way, should minimize problems you may have caused entering the info directly in config.php.

There are several things that could be wrong:
1. You have the wrong user name
2. You have the wrong password
3. You have the wrong Database name
4. You don't actually have a database
5. If you're doing a manual install instead of running install.php you may not have run the SQL query to set up the database structure.
