It worked. I still have the email with all the settings I was going to send, and if you want I'll send it (and all the answers). But I don't need it anymore. THANKS TO ALL. The problem was: I had created the user, and created the database, BUT I DID not add the user to the database. Makes sense, of course... now!
The site is called ouranswer.org and will be up very very soon. Pietro
Interestingly, after it was up, I deleted everything, to recreate it with the right passwords. And it would always give me trouble... (I don't remember what kind of trouble) Even if I deleted the database, and recreated again. I then deleted the db and recreated with another name, and it was alright. I suspect that there might be a bug in the host.
Many thanks to all, Pietro
