Hi, I just installed bludit with the hiawatha web server on FreeBSD-13.2. This was from the ground up, starting with a new installation of freebsd with only the hiawatha and php83 packages installed.

When I first tried to access bludit, I was told that the mbstring, gd, and dom modules were required but not installed, so I installed them. Then I was able to access the "Welcome to Bludit" page.

Could not access the admin panel, though. I just got a blank page.

Eventually, I figured out that the php83-session package was also required. After I installed that, I could access the admin panel, and so far, things seem to work fine.

The session module does not seem to be mentioned on the Requirements page at https://docs.bludit.com/en/getting-started/requirements

Should it be? It does seem to be a requirement and some mention of it would have helped me get started. Thanks.
