Have you done this?

Set $wgShowExceptionDetails = true; at the bottom of LocalSettings.php to show detailed debugging information.

It’s very strange that the database wasn’t automatically created by Softaculous… I wonder if there’s a chance it failed because it hit the inode limit, as when I had last seen a MediaWiki installation it had filled the counter very quickly, which may make it incompatible with the free hosting platform:

All inodes used?

MediaWiki is unfortunately too large for free hosting, so the inode limit you are seeing is most likely correct. Try removing the attempted installation from Softaculous, or check the .cpanel contents and see if you can delete those. Keep in mind that the inode counter is updated every 8 hours, so the fastest solution if the previously mentioned steps do not help might be to create a new hosting account and start over.
