What version of MySQL or MariaDB do you have? That documentation says:

For MySQL Ver 8.0, the three settings below [... innodb_file_format = Barracuda ] are not needed.

and

If you use newer versions of MariaDB in Ubuntu 20.04 these changes in config file would arise and error (mysql unknown variable 'innodb_file_format=barracuda'), so comment or don't make these changes

so you probably don't need any of these settings. You can run SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES WHERE variable_name IN ('innodb_file_format', 'innodb_large_prefix', 'innodb_file_per_table') to see if MySQL/MariaDB is correctly configured, the results should be as shown here.
