HOW TO INSTALL ZONEMINDER-master ON UBUNTU 19.10 (eoan), with php 7.4 & mysql 8

At the moment PHP mysqli connector does not have support for caching_sha2_password. We will have to use mysql_native_password until the PHP 7.4 is revised to support caching_sha2_password.

Installation of php 7.4

sudo su apt install -y software-properties-common

add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php

apt update
