[CentOS] phpMyAdmin mbstring extension is missing

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.
