Error contacting the Parsoid/RESTBase server (HTTP 500)

I am trying to add an Infobox, but whenever I use the {{}} syntax (whether its for the Infobox or for Math), I get the error message "Error contacting the Parsoid/RESTBase server (HTTP 500) when i try to save. Once I remove the {{}} code, everything is ok and i can use both VisualEditor or Source editor to save.


I'm using a fresh install of MediaWiki 1.35.2 from the Mediawiki website. I read that I do not have to install or configure VisualEditor or Parsoid for this version. I am running this on Windows 10 & xampp 8.0.6.

MediaWiki 1.35.2
PHP 8.0.6 (apache2handler)
MariaDB 10.4.19-MariaDB
Lua 5.1.5

Is there any configuration settings that I should add to the VisualEditor extension on LocalSettings.php? I only have the default:

wfLoadExtension( 'VisualEditor' );
