Using PHP 7, MariaDB 10, Nginx and SSL.

In step 3 database installation part whatever i do it returns to step 1: Welcome part.

It doesn't matter i input correct information or nothing on Step 3: Database Settings, when i click Continue it just returns to Step 1.

No error messages, nothing.

Now getting Can't connect to database with given info error. With that info and username-password I can connect to mysql from command line.

Also tried both "localhost" and "127.0.0.1" with no chance.

What is going on?

grinninglich

I found that SMF was having problems with OPCache. Reseting the cache solved the issue.

SMF installed but now it tries to load resources from 127.0.0.1 address.

Yes used it and fixed the URLs. Though my first impression was very bad for SMF. First time trying a forum software and these kind of errors shouldn't exist imho.

Interesting that the code specifically to reset the opcache in the installer doesn't work...

Yep...
Address the process rather than the outcome.  Then, the outcome becomes more likely.   - Fripp
