I ran the above commands to test php artisan commands for jail-shell. I jailed a user named 'salman' using jail-shell from github (https://github.com/pymumu/jail-shell). The user has php binaries. So the php command works. But when I execute php artisan commands like 'php artisan serve' or 'php artisan optimize:clear' from that user's terminal, I get fatal error as shown below:

I faced this issue in almalinux 8, centos and ubuntu 18 but not in ubuntu 20. It works fine when the user is given normal shell but does not work when I give it jailed (restricted) shell. Is there any file or env variables that the jailed user is missing? What can be missing in the jailed environment of the user that I should add?
