This is a fairly new install of CentOS7 and I'm trying to install phpMyAdmin (http). When I access http://server/phpMyAdmin it throws:
The mbstring extension is missing. Please check your PHP configuration.
There is a mbstring.ini in /etc/php.d with:
; Enable mbstring extension module
Extension=mbstring.so
/etc/php.ini has:
:
extension_dir = "/etc/php.d"
:
Not sure where to go now.

You need to install correct package. Name of package might be php-mbstring ..

Since your configuration files say that mbstring.so should exist in /etc/php.d, the first question to ask is, does it?
Yes, it does in /usr/lib64/php/modules/

So what you actually meant to say is, no it doesn't exist in /etc/php.d.
/etc/php.d != /usr/lib64/php/modules.
I think you found your problem.
Yeah, something changed my php.ini as follows:
; Directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside. ; http://php.net/extension-dir extension_dir = "./" ; On windows: ; extension_dir = "ext" extension_dir = "/etc/php.d"
This directory has a bunch of .ini files, so I changed it to the location of the .so files:
; Directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside. ; http://php.net/extension-dir extension_dir = "./" ; On windows: ; extension_dir = "ext" ; extension_dir = "/etc/php.d" extension_dir = "/usr/lib64/php/modules/"
This did the trick!

the default of ./ is sufficent as php assumes thats /usr/lib64/php/modules ... so really, you don't need, and shouldn't have ANY extension_dir setting in php.ini

that seems wrong, mine has no such field. (the commented out default value is ./ )

John,
Yeah, tried that, no improvement (same error message).
Thanks, Frank M. Ramaekers Jr.
