Thank you Carbonize

Not sure exactly what I did, but had to reset my MYsql pswrd on the server...and everything sorta worked.

Now I need to figure out how to get all my images back.

(added later: Smilies are working again, had to change the [base_url] in the config Man is that file a pain)

also need to re-edit everything to add the Image and Human verifcations....grrrrrr

(added: see that 2.4 has the image verification already in it....so far no spammers....thanks for everything you guys...)

Thanks everyone for all your help!

I followed all the steps mentioned and now here is the error I get after running the update in the misc folder.

Updating db from 2.3.x to 2.4.1

Let me also explain that before changing codes and running the update I took my 3.2.1 folder and renamed it, I then took the new guestbook and renamed it to just Guestbook just like I had the other one. Would this also effect the update not running?

Im pulling my hair out here. I have done everything listed - numerous times, and am still getting this error.

Any help greatly appreciated

Access denied means your username and password for the database is incorrect.

I have changed the password on config to everything possibly imagionable. I have copied and pasted from 2.3.1, I have typed in admin user/pass (that works from actual guestbook), I have used my website admin user pass, everything possible. Still wont update. What am I doing wrong?

Just to confirm you copied the database information exactly? Replacing the lines in the 2.4.1 config file with those from he 2.3.x file ?
