It’s actually this bit that’s got me!

Maybe it’s just me striving to get things perfect?

1. If a database relating to WordPress does not already exist in the Database dropdown on the left, create one:

1. Choose a name for your WordPress database (‘wordpress’ or ‘blog’ are good), enter it in the Create new database field, and click Create.

2. Click the Home icon in the upper left to return to the main page, then click Privileges. If a user relating to WordPress does not already exist in the list of users, create one:

1. Click Add a new User.
2. Chose a username for WordPress (‘wordpress’ is good) and enter it in the User name field. (Be sure Use text field: is selected from the dropdown.)
3. Choose a difficult-to-guess password (ideally containing a combination of upper- and lower-case letters, numbers, and symbols), and enter it in the Password field. (Be sure Use text field: is selected from the dropdown.) Re-enter the password in the Re-type field.
4. Write down the username and password you chose.
5. Leave all options under Global privileges at their defaults.
6. Click Go.

I have the login details for phpMyAdmin
I have my:
Mysql username: ###
Mysql password: ###
Mysql hostname: mysql8.streamline.net
Database name: ###
PHPMyAdmin: https://mysql8.streamline.net/phpmyadmin

I have these

Unfortunately I don’t know how to log in to a db that already exists!

I am using mySql 4.1.15

It says that ‘unlimited’ customers (that’s me) get 5 MySQL databases. So I was under the impression wordpress would work. Is it likely that they are limiting my ability to do things with these deatabases?
