I even tried using MariaDB I still have no joy. There is something fundamentally wrong yet no log files or any other information I can find on the web has led me to overcome these last steps which has me somewhat perplexed.

The setup should be quite straight-forward, following just these two
entries in the INSTALL file:

4. Create a new database and a database user for Roundcube (see DATABASE
SETUP)
5. Point your browser to http://url-to-roundcube/installer/

Said so, you are using php8 and mysql8, and these versions can surely
give some more headaches:
1) PHP 8: I don't think it's officially supported by roundcube, it may
work but not 100% guaranteed
2) MySQL 8: it includes a change in the default authentication system
that broke almost all php installations. To restore the old behavior a
possibility is to use a my.cnf file with:

[mysqld]
default_authentication_plugin = mysql_native_password
