Problem?

Website applications have their own hosting PHP requirement. If this requirement is not met, you will see the error in the screenshot below.

Scroll down to the highlighted section to identify the cause of the error. As shown in the screenshot below, the REQUIRED php VALUE to install Magento is 8.1 to 8.2.99 but the hosting has a current php VALUE DETECTED of 7.4.33. To fix this, change your PHP version in cPanel Hosting.

Additionally, in the PHP Selector page of the cPanel, where you normally change the PHP version of the whole hosting, enable the sodium PHP extension by putting a check mark on it. This action will satisfy the second requirement indicated on the error above.
