Please post the entire <connectionStrings> and <appSettings> sections of your web.config replacing the values for uid and pwd with 'xxx' for security reasons.  Can you connect to the database using SQL Server Management Studio or similar tool with the same username and password (not with Windows Authentication)?

=====================================

No problem for connecting to database with other tools include Server Management Studio with same username and password.

Please check your connection strings, also database and SQL Server collation, sometimes collation effects dnn installation. Btw are you using new DNN installer?
