Looks like the database server is pulling some more configurations from somewhere else as the one you posted don't resemble a actual my.cnf configuration with all parameters.

Can you do the following steps?

1. Backup the old my.cnf:

Code: (Select All)

mv /etc/mysql/my.cnf /etc/mysql/my.cnf.backup

2. Install new my.cnf:

Code: (Select All)

wget -O /etc/mysql/my.cnf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hidden-refuge/demp-deb9-testing/master/my.cnf

3. Restart MariaDB:

Code: (Select All)

systemctl restart mariadb

or

Code: (Select All)

systemctl restart mysql

4. Try to install SMF again into a brand new database.

Report back please. If that doesn't cut it you might have to modify the script that creates the tables during installation like the person did in the second thread that I linked in my previous reply.
