Welcome to Joomla forum!

Please review the technical requirements of Joomla at https://manual.joomla.org/docs/next/get ... uirements/.

As you may notice, the minimum version of MariaDB required is 10.4.0.

Also, I suggest checking whether the MySQL (drivers) module mysqlnd or pdo_mysql is enabled/installed in PHP.

Hope this helps.

You can enable it in the cPanel itself by using PHP configuration.

Review of the following page could be of help. Even though the document says WordPress, the solutions offered are equally good for Joomla as we are talking about MySQL extension.
