	Sometimes the php extensions are missing. For example, in 3.20 I had to manually install php83-ctype, which was not required in previous versions. This is confusing because, there is php82 and php-fpm83 installed. Testing ctype from the php82 interactive shell will succeed, but ZM is using php-fpm83, and phpinfo() from an index.php lists ctype (which you might assume is installed) however ctype is listed as 'enable=shared' which I assume means you have to install the shared library for ctype.

			===ZM is not compiled with LibVNC support in 3.20===
			This is a missing feature, and should be resolved at some point in the future. This means source type:VNC will not work.
