Hi @madsmka,
My guess at the issue here would be that you're running BookStack on PHP 7.2, which is what the default would have been for your Ubuntu 18.04 setup.

Quite often the command line and server PHP versions can be mis-aligned.
If possible, could you attempt to remove all instance of PHP7.2 and restart apache afterwards?

As an added note, We'll soon be dropping support for PHP7.3 so, if possible, it might be beneficial to upgrade to PHP8 at this stage.

Hello ssddanbrown,

I tried removing PHP7.2 completely and that seems to have solved the problem. Thank you.

We will be looking into upgrading to PHP8 soon.
