extension=mbstring.so

Thanks,

For my windows installation [I don't have linux nearby at the moment, but the matter should be very similar]...
I have this entry in my php.ini file:
[PHP_MBSTRING]
extension=php_mbstring.dll
Yours will probably be similar, but the extension will end with: .so
Check the php installation, there should be an 'ext' directory to find the relative file name found on your system.
Of course, after applying this change the webserver will need to be restarted.
Side note:
Should you discover that you can't find a 'mbstring' file, the supporting module might not be installed. To see what modules
are installed, from the command line, you can use the command: php -m to see what modules are available. If mbsting is NOT found in the output listing [alphabetically displayed], then it needs to be installed.
