SHOPV3 - CPANEL SERVER REQUIREMENTS
===================================

Runtime PHP supported by this compatibility build:
- PHP 8.1
- PHP 8.2
- PHP 8.3
- PHP 8.4

Recommended: PHP 8.2 or 8.3 when your hosting provides it.
PHP 8.0 and PHP 7.x are not supported because Laravel 10 requires PHP >= 8.1.

Required PHP extensions:
- openssl
- PDO
- pdo_mysql
- mbstring
- curl
- fileinfo

Strongly recommended:
- dom
- xml
- simplexml
- bcmath
- intl
- sodium
- zip
- gd

cPanel:
1. MultiPHP Manager -> select the domain -> choose PHP 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, or 8.4.
2. Select PHP Version / PHP Extensions -> enable the extensions above.
3. storage/ and bootstrap/cache/ must be writable by the PHP/cPanel user.
4. If APP_KEY is blank, this build creates a per-shop key in storage/app/private/.shopv3-app-key.
5. Do not delete that generated key after the site is in use.

Compatibility note:
The bundled vendor directory contains PHP 8.1 runtime backports for a small set of upstream packages whose current metadata declares PHP 8.2+. Upload the bundled vendor directory as-is. Do not run composer update directly on production PHP 8.1.
