Composer detected issues in your platform: Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version ">= 8.2.0".

Hi to all. My php -v is:

        }
    },
    "minimum-stability": "stable",
    "prefer-stable": true
}

I made "composer update" but I obtain the same error : "Composer detected issues in your platform: Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version ">= 8.2.0".

Why??

@mohamedtammam thank you, but it doesn't work.

I noticed that if I visit my site with its ip address 192.168.1.254 it works!

But if I try to surf to it with its name "http://multisite" it returns "Composer detected issues in your platform: Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version ">= 8.2.0" message.

So I think it my be my virtual server in apache

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName MultiSite
    ServerAlias multisite
    DocumentRoot /var/www/MultiSite/public

    <Directory /var/www/MultiSite/public>
        Options +Indexes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        allow from all
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

May be?

For initial troubleshooting, a simple test involves creating an index.php file with phpinfo() in your web root (/var/www/MultiSite/public). This will provide comprehensive details, including the PHP version currently active.

If you encounter issues, consider the following potential concerns:

Verify if PHP-FPM is in use. Check your Apache configuration and ensure the .htaccess file doesn't specify a conflicting PHP version, which could impact functionality, particularly with IP addresses. Regarding Apache configuration, ensure it aligns with PHP-FPM integration:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName MultiSite
    ServerAlias multisite
    DocumentRoot /var/www/MultiSite/public

    <Directory /var/www/MultiSite/public>
        Options +Indexes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
	
    <FilesMatch \.php$>
        SetHandler "proxy:unix:/run/php/php8.2-fpm.sock|fcgi://localhost"
    </FilesMatch>
</VirtualHost>

Ensure PHP-FPM is installed for the configuration to function correctly. If PHP-FPM isn't installed, adjust the PHP path accordingly.

By following these steps, you can systematically diagnose and resolve configuration issues affecting your setup.
