You are missing the libxml extension in your php build  this extension is required as you can see in the "mybb requirements" document (https://docs.mybb.com/1.8/install/requirements/) you can check that by creating a php script that calls the phpinfo(); function

<?php
phpinfo();
?>
when you are done remove this file from the server as it poses a security risk .
Looks to me like this could be an issue with PHP 8 also.
