If I were in your shoes, I'd reload an empty OS image into the server, and start over in a clean state.

There should be way to uninstall it without reloading the os even if it's manually fixing with a sql file.

The database has become corrupted. Good luck correcting it when reloading the OS is far easier.

I'm sorry for voicing my views; I'll try to keep quiet from now on.

Reloading the os is not easier when you already have other important things installed on it. I was not knocking your opinion merely saying that with any software they should be a suitable uninstall option.

It does have a suitable uninstall option but the server is now in an unknown broken state due to the reboot during install. You can try to fix MySQL though as that's where the immediate error is (lots of guides if you Google around 'how to repair mysql') but it may end taking longer than starting over.
It can be useful to create snapshots at key stages when setting up a server, to give yourself restore points rather than completely starting over if something goes wrong.
