Error during first install for a linux beginner

I did the following to setup MariaDB before using the installation wizard:

sudo mysql_secure_installation
# answer yes to all questions

sudo mysql -u root -p
	create database nextcloud;
	create user nxtcloudadmin@localhost identified by 'admin123';
	grant all privileges on nextcloud.* to nxtcloudadmin@localhost identified by 'admin123';
	flush privileges;
	exit;
	
sudo nano /etc/mysql/my.cnf
# add these lines at the bottom:
	log-bin = /var/log/mysql/mariadb-bin
	log-bin-index = /var/log/mysql/mariadb-bin.index
	binlog_format = mixed
	
sudo service mysql reload

Then try the wizard again where you use:
Username: skycorp
Password: skycorp_password
Database user: nxtcloudadmin
Database password: admin123
Database name: nextcloud
Database host: localhost

And don’t forget to change admin123 into a real password.

Good luck!
