I have debugged into the code and found the location of the problem but not why:
on line 24 in begin.php it tries to connect to my database:
$cid = @mysql_connect($all_url_vars["url"],$all_url_vars[ "logid"],$all_url_vars["pasw"]) or die("I cannot select the database because the database name does not exist!</br> Go back <a href='index.php?page=host'> prev</a>.</br> Write correct information!");
The NEXT line tries to select the database catalog/schema BUT - it never gets there - so the error message is misleading. In fact it cannot make a connection at all to the database.
So - I test:
$t = mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', 'mypassword') or die('cannot connect);
HOWEVER - this works FINE!
I go back and inspect the variables being passed in begin.php and they are all perfectly correct.... I am stumped. Any more ideas?
