after installing WAMP 3 with Apache 2 4 17 and php5 6 17 I tried to look at php ini from wampserver  green icon in tray   It wasn t finding it  I copied php ini from the php 5 6 15 directory to the apache2 4 17 bin  directory and phpmyadmin worked fine without missing mbstring

My Manifestation of this Problem  For me  using WAMP 3 0 0  the problem was that WAMP was looking for php ini in the following directory on my PC  C  wamp64 bin apache apache2 4 17 bin  Solution  However  there was no file there for the default version of PHP that was selected  PHP 5 6 16   I changed to PHP 7 0 0 by left clicking the WAMP notification icon  selecting  PHP   selecting  Version   and choosing  7 0 0    Alternative Solution  In the  C  wamp64 bin php  directory on my PC  there were sub-directories for both PHP 5 6 16 and 7 0 0  Both of these had php ini files in them  An alternative solution would have been to copy one of these files to the  C  wamp64 bin apache apache2 4 17 bin  directory on my PC

Before sometime I also had the same problem  I have tried replacing the  dll file but no result  After some debugging I found the solution   I had this in my php ini file   extension dir    ext   And I m getting mbstring extension missing error  So I tried putting the full path for the extension directory and it works for me  like   extension dir    C  php ext   Hope this will help   Cheers

The version of phpadmin you have installed is not compatible with the version of apache  Install the compatible version and you should be fine

check your php ini file in the root directory of your php installation  In the extensions part of the configuration you should find    extension php mbstring dll   remove the leading     to uncomment and enable the extension so it looks like this   extension php mbstring dll   restart your apache and it should work   Edit  I just read that you are already using a webhost  Does your webhost have a interface where you can set php variables etc  Or a  ini file you can edit    If not you may are forced to talk to the webhost and ask them to enable that particular extension

I recently updated from PHP 5 4 44 to PHP 5 6 12 on my Windows 8 1 OS and got this phpMyAdmin missing mbstring error message     After trying the above suggestions  none of which worked for me  I discovered version 5 4 44 placed the DLL extensions in the PHP root directory whereas version 5 6 12 placed them in the PHP ext subdirectory  All very fine except unfortunately someone forgot to change the php ini accordingly  So two possible solutions      Copy the DLL extensions from the ext sub-directory into the PHP root directory  or   Edit the php ini file to call all the DLL extensions from the ext sub-directory      I chose the easier first and phpMyAdmin now works fine

install mbstring and restart your apache   sudo apt-get install php-mbstring sudo service apache restart    then remove   from your php ini file    extension php mbstring dll   to  extension php mbstring dll   If it still doesn t work  remove your php setup  without removing the databases from your phpmyadmin  Reinstall it   NB    if you want to remove all  all mention the one you need to   sudo apt-get remove php     Then install the php and modules of the php version that you need  here  php 7 1   sudo apt-get install php7 1 php7 1-cli php7 1-common libapache2-mod-php7 1 php7 1-mysql php7 1-fpm php7 1-curl php7 1-gd php7 1-bz2 php7 1-mcrypt php7 1-json php7 1-tidy php7 1-mbstring php-redis php-memcached   restart your apache and check the php version   sudo service apache restart php -v   when all this is done  execute the following command to enable mbstring forcefully and restart your apache   sudo phpenmod mbstring sudo service apache restart   Hope it helps  It did to me

I just installed WAMP 3 on Windows 10 and had this issue   I had to go to C  wamp64 bin php php7 0 0  and copy the php ini file to C  wamp64 bin apache apache2 4 17 bin   Then I restarted WAMP  and was finally able to access my phpMyAdmin file   Note  this is probably not the correct way to do this because now there are 2 php ini files  There is probably a setting in an Apache file that points to the php ini file  but I haven t seen that yet  I will update this if I find it

The installation process adds the phpMyAdmin Apache configuration file into the  etc apache2 conf-enabled  directory  where it is read automatically  The only thing you need to do is explicitly enable the mbstring PHP extension  Because sometimes you forgot to enable the mbstring mode so simply type the below command to enabled the mbstring mode       sudo phpenmod mbstring  Afterward  restart Apache for your changes to be recognized  sudo systemctl restart apache2

Solved it   I tried all of the solutions above but it still did not work  I m currently using WAMP to launch the mysql server  When I tried to open the  php ini  file with the WAMP panel  it said that it did not exist and asked me to create a new  php ini  in the location   C  wamp bin apache apache2 4 17 bin   Once I created this new  php ini  file  I located the existing  php ini  file which was in the path  C  wamp bin php php5 6 15   and cloned it  I then pasted the clone in the previous path where it had asked me to create the  php ini  file   Hope this helped

I had this problem in the past with MAMP on a Windows machine   Open MAMP start page and go to your current configuration of PHP  phpinfo   Check the Configuration File  php ini  PATH    Mine was set to C  Windows  where of course I had no PHP ini file    Either change the php ini path to C  MAMP conf php5 6 8  or your php version conf path  or just copy php ini to c  windows
