Welcome @applemart Happy you are here
Kindly run the following command in SSH terminal mysqld_safe --syslog
then retry creating the database and post the contents of cat /var/log/syslog
Also post any issues here https://<IP Address>:8090/serverstatus/cyberCPMainLogFile
after retrying
remove special charter and try
Should help if you possible change mysql root password or there are inconsistencies
