Also, I did not install HTTP on this server, do I need to? I didn't see that in the tutorial.
You don't need HTTP server. Traccar has embedded one.
As for your error, I think it's pretty self-explanatory.
Not a MySQL expert, but that looks like a user permissions error. Googling it seems to point to user permissions.
Try to create a table directly in the DB using the same user account, and see if you get the same error.
Thanks for the help so far. I did reset the password for the user I assigned. I logged in with that user and password to ensure that it did work. I restarted Traccar and then checked to see if the tables were created. They were created. Thanks very much for the help. I really appreciate it.
I definitely made progress but I have another issue that I don't know what it means:
traccar.service - traccar

Am I missing java or something related. Could someone tell me how to install it? I apologize for not knowing, I am learning but lack the knowledge on how to get the next step going. Thanks again and thanks for being patient.
Thanks for the help on if I should install http or not. If I did want to install http for another application with that interfere with Traccar or is it independent of a install of http?
This is pretty cool, making progress with your help.
BTW, this is what is install as far as java goes presently:
java-11-openjdk-headless-11.0.9.11-2.el8_3.x86_64
javapackages-filesystem-5.3.0-1.module_el8.0.0+11+5b8c10bd.noarch
java-11-openjdk-devel-11.0.9.11-2.el8_3.x86_64
tzdata-java-2020d-1.el8.noarch
java-11-openjdk-11.0.9.11-2.el8_3.x86_64
You have to check logs for the error. What you provided doesn't actually provide any useful information.
If there's nothing in the log, it probably means that you have invalid config.
Here is what I found which doesn't mean anything to me:

The issue is still the same. MySQL rejects the access:

Ok, I rechecked and found an issue with the login. I now can login into traccar and verify the tables are there. When I try and login (http://ipoftraccar.dom:8082) I get "This site can’t be reached" "ipoftraccar.dom refused to connect" Traccar is running now:

I am going to completely rebuild the server and start over
I am looking for a tutorial for Centos 8 using MySQL for Traccar. I found one and believe I have it set up per the instructions I have found but it is failing to create the database tables in Mariadb with the following error.
Also, I would like to take a raspberry pi, install Traccar on it and use it as a client to report to this server I am trying to set up on Centos 8.
Any help would be appreciated.
TIA
