moodle newbie installation problems

Hi All, 

I'm trying to install moodle to help a friend to kickstart her project.
ATM it's just a test install just to familiarize with the system i would eventually manage in the future.

The install in on a Ubuntu 18.04LTS based VPS on hetzner.de, kept up to date daily

mysql+nginx (I don't like apache)

All the requirements are met, https as well, 

requirements are met



but once I start the setup procedure the screen freeze without updating the process status.



After few minutes, if I reload the page, I get a "System is updating, please wait" message, 
later an not-css-styled list of requested plugins (as you can see at https://moodle.edopcfix.com)

any idea on what should I look for?

I tried to search for similar post but to no avail 


TIA for your kindly help

So you are installing a fresh 3.7+ ... is that right?

It's linux, so one could install via command line:

cd /path/to/moodlecode/admin/cli/

php install.php [ENTER]

and one will be prompted for same info as in forms setting up the site.

Takes nginx out of the loop.

Then it runs through setting up all the tables in the DB.

Install has to be from the same IP address that initially began the install.

Moodle caches right away ... so if did GUI and site just looks messed up ... no theme, go to admin/cli/ and run php purge_caches.php [ENTER]

Then refresh browser.

If having issues, please check nginx error logs for clues.
