Errors during composer update

[advancew@sea02 one-page.zeta-web-studio.com]$ composer update Loading composer repositories with package information Updating dependencies Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

Problem 1 - lcobucci/jwt[5.0.0, ..., 5.5.0] require ext-sodium * -> it is missing from your system. Install or enable PHP's sodium extension. - laravel/passport[v13.0.0, ..., v13.0.5] require league/oauth2-server ^9.2 -> satisfiable by league/oauth2-server[9.2.0]. - league/oauth2-server 9.2.0 requires lcobucci/jwt ^5.0 -> satisfiable by lcobucci/jwt[5.0.0, ..., 5.5.0]. - Root composer.json requires laravel/passport ^13.0 -> satisfiable by laravel/passport[v13.0.0, ..., v13.0.5].

To enable extensions, verify that they are enabled in your .ini files: - /opt/alt/php82/etc/php.ini - /opt/alt/php82/link/conf/alt_php.ini You can also run php --ini in a terminal to see which files are used by PHP in CLI mode. Alternatively, you can run Composer with --ignore-platform-req=ext-sodium to temporarily ignore these required extensions.

Use the option --with-all-dependencies (-W) to allow upgrades, downgrades and removals for packages currently locked to specific versions.

I got these errors during composer update. It works in my localhost. Any clue why?

The error message indicates that the sodium PHP extension (ext-sodium) is missing on your server, but it is required by the lcobucci/jwt package, which is a dependency of league/oauth2-server and ultimately laravel/passport.

Why it works on localhost:
Your local machine likely has the sodium extension installed and enabled, so Composer can resolve all dependencies there.

How to solve it on your server:

Check your PHP version:
Sodium is bundled with PHP 7.2+ but may not be enabled by default.
```
php -m | grep sodium
```
If you see no output, sodium is not enabled.

Enable or install sodium:

On Ubuntu/Debian:

sudo apt-get install php-sodium
sudo service apache2 restart  # or restart php-fpm if using it

On CentOS/AlmaLinux/RHEL:

sudo yum install php-sodium
sudo systemctl restart httpd  # or restart php-fpm if using it

On cPanel/CloudLinux (since your path is /opt/alt/php82/):
```
/opt/alt/php82/usr/bin/pecl install libsodium
```
Or, use EasyApache 4 in WHM to enable the sodium extension for the PHP version in use.

Verify sodium is enabled:
```
php -m | grep sodium
```
You should see sodium in the output.
Run composer update again:
```
composer update
```

Temporary workaround:
You can run Composer with --ignore-platform-req=ext-sodium to skip the requirement, but this is not recommended for production as the extension is actually needed by your dependencies.

composer update --ignore-platform-req=ext-sodium

Summary:
Install and enable the sodium extension on your server to resolve this error. This will allow Composer to install all required dependencies for your Laravel project.
