    Well after a number of tries, I managed to figure it out ( but with the kind support of mookitty.ca and others on the support forum). I was creating the accounts (database and user) using phpmyAdmin. They displayed and had the correct rights…but for some reason didn’t work.
    Again, with the help of the gang here and mookitty.ca, I logged in to the mysql command prompt and added the database, user, password and privileges “manually” and then edited my wp-config file. The install then went VERY FAST ( about 2 minutes.).
    Thanks everyone for the patience. It tells me that maybe my phpmyadmin is not setup like it should be. I need to research this at my end.
    Cheers

    I tried what you said above and get the following errors:
    Warning: Access denied for user: ‘wordpressuser@localhost’ (Using password: YES) in /var/www/html/wordpress/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 26
    Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Access denied for user: ‘wordpressuser@localhost’ (Using password: YES) in /var/www/html/wordpress/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 26
    Error establishing a database connection! This probably means that the connection information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect. Double check it and try again.
