How to tell difference between two nearly identical Hestia servers

I suppose it is because Friendica is trying to use some php functions that are disabled. I checked it and seems Friendica needs these functions:

pcntl_fork
pcntl_waitpid
pcntl_signal
exec
system
passthru
shell_exec
proc_open

Check if these functions are disabled in php 8.1:

grep disable_functions /etc/php/8.1/fpm/php.ini

If they are disabled, edit file /etc/php/8.1/fpm/php.ini and remove them from disable_functions directive and once done restart php8.1-fpm:

Warning: disabling those functions could be a security risk.

systemctl restart php8.1-fpm

Now try to install Friendica again.
