<p>I am in the process of cloning a Craft 3 site to a new server (from GoDaddy to SiteGround). I have set up the new craft space and imported the database, assets, templates, etc., which all went smoothly. But the new site won't install any plugins; any plugin install attempt gives the error below. The old site can still install plugins, and both sites are running Craft 3.9.13. How do I resolve this?</p>

Is the new server also using PHP 7.4? Try running `php -v` to confirm, and `which php` to confirm that the `/usr/local/php74/bin/php` location is still valid.
