Create wordpress site fails on a server with existing MySQL database

I have a server with existing MySQL wordpress database. I installed all packages individually except MySQL. Below is the ee status and info.

I can also connect to database as root using “mysql” command. However, when I try creating a wordpress site it fails at the point where it has to create a database.

Can’t easyengine be used to create wordpress sites on servers with existing databases? Log below. Thank you.
