I have installed PHP 8.0, 8.1 and 8.2. However, when I try to run something from console, like for instance sudo -u www-data php occ mainenance:mode on, I get the message

The same occurs if I change PHP8.1 to PHP8.0. The only version that doesn’t give me any error is PHP7.4.
How can I get occ to accept PHP8.0 or PHP8.1?
Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Y/N):
