PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function json_decode()

Hello!

I tried to restore a website via a .jpa archive and the kickstart.php script from Akeeba Backup. However, I keep getting the following error message:

[14-Nov-2020 18:58:22 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function json_decode() in /home/.../public_html/kickstart.php:20417
Stack trace:
#0 /home/.../public_html/kickstart.php(20691): kickstart_application_web()
#1 {main}
thrown in /home/.../public_html/kickstart.php on line 20417

Please inform me how to fix this problem.

Have you installed JSON extension for PHP on your server? See https://www.php.net/manual/en/json.setup.php

When I go to cPanel > Select PHP Version > Extensions, I see that json is enabled, so I suppose that it is already installed on the server.
