After a push to my website with Elements 2.0.1 (the first since 2.0 was released), my website CMS component gives me this error: “Composer detected issues in your platform: Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version “\>= 8.4.0”. According to Chillidoghosting cPanel / phpMyAdmin, PHP 8.4.17 is running. Help. ---

Fixed with a config on the cPanel / PHP engine. ---

Make sure you don’t have a `.htaccess` file in your Elements project that overwrites your CDH generated `.htaccess` file, otherwise you will see that error again…
