PhpMyAdmin and mbstring extension

leduc300 -  
Hello everyone, I have a big problem, I installed phpAdmin to make modifications on a database. Since I had no password, I configured it in phpMyAdmin. Big problem, I can no longer log in with all privileges and it takes my password as a user. On the interface I have an error message: "The php mbstring extension could not be located and it seems you are using a multi-byte character set. Without this extension, phpMyAdmin cannot properly handle characters and problems may result." I’m working on an application that runs thanks to a database and it is also blocked because of this problem. I’ve been researching all afternoon. I recompiled PHP4 with --enable-mbstring=all and --enable-mbstr-enc-trans. Please help me.

    oh la la it's actually super simple:
    Yum install *mbstring*
    there you go you choose the php-mbstring package that matches your distro (in principle by default it gets installed if your yum is configured okay) and you restart apache: and miracle the error message disappeared :)
