Php versions – Laravel PHP extensions installed but not loading on VPS Server

I am running PHP version 8.3 on AlmaLinux 9. I have a Laravel 10 project that runs perfectly well on my Windows local machine because all the requirements according to documentation are met. But I am here trying to do the same on my VPS so that it too can run, but to no avail. The issue is when I run php -m, on ssh cli, I see clearly that, there are some missing extensions; mbstring and a couple of others. Installing them with sudo dnf as can be seen below, the response is they are already installed: 

[user@235 ~]$ sudo dnf install php-bcmath php-curl php-fileinfo php-mbstring php-mysqlnd php-pdo_mysql php-zip
[sudo] password for user:

Running php -m on ssh gives:

What I have already tried:

  • Added extensions to php.ini file, and even restarted the server with /sbin/service httpd restart, sudo systemctl restart httpd and even manually restarting, as well as system rebooting WHM.
  • Some of the issues I have followed and read are:
  1. Issue 1
  2. Issue 2

The path to my php.ini is /opt/cpanel/ea-php83/root/etc/php.ini

    I found that the PHP extensions in question were available but needed to have their respective install buttons in WHM, toggled on; and then provision them to fully install them and make them available.

    The path to my php.ini is /opt/cpanel/ea-php83/root/etc/php.ini

    So, you are not running AlmaLinux but a heavily altered by cpanel distro.

    dnf install php-bcmath php-curl php-fileinfo php-mbstring php…

    This command is useless are you are not using this PHP.
    Try

    which php
/usr/bin/php -m

    You probably need to install extensions for cpanel.
