I found the problem, which was a password problem for an sql database. Drupal uses both MariaDB as well as SQL and so got through.
I have now to admit I don’t like WordPress, so I’ve deleted it and will go with Drupal

I didn’t use “localhost:8000” as I found out that was wrong, but I did use “localhost”
It says the database does not exist, so I created another new database and followed the procedure again and got the same message.
I have to say that I have just installed a drupal site going through the same procedure (different database of course) and that worked like a dream.
