 * 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 Eldoren

 * 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. ———————–
