Excellent stuff seymour, this worked perfectly (and swiftly also) and I got my XOOPS DB successfully on my web host now.
Please note that I did the suggested thing and practised re-installing and migrating it a few times on my local server to make sure I got the gist of the config editing correctly - and all test runs were successful, but.........
Now I have uploaded my XOOPS folder to the root of my www folder on the web host and when I go to the main page I get this error here:
Error [Xoops]: Unable to connect to database in file class/database/databasefactory.php line 34
I reuploded it to the web host a few times in case it became corrupted in transit, but still that error.
I went thru all the suggested steps on this page here, but to no avail:

Any solutions for this next glitch please?
