SOLUTION TO THE CHALLENGE:
1st make careful note of the HOST NAME in PHPadmin mine was mysqldb2.ehost-services.com whereas mysqldb1.ehost-services.com was recorded in the wp-config file. Just hover over the symbol of that file in your File Manager and select “edit with text editor”. Make the correction if needed and save.
Then go to the sub-folder “wp-admin” and open up the file “install.php” and you should see a page indicating that you’re on the 1st step of installation. Success is then a forgone conclusion
I have Dustin at the Enom Help Centre to thank for this solution.
Best of luck mywaynow,

Hi, I have precisely the same problem so please publish the “cure” when you discover it.
Like you I checked and double-checked the details on file: wp-config.php and though that I’d found it when I noticed that the HOST was recorded as host name: mysqldb1.ehost-services.com whereas it should have been host name: mysqldb2.ehost-services.com
No such luck; I continue to receive the same error message.
