Not sure what happened  but below is what the log is giving me when trying to access phpmyadmin  please help  Trying to debug a different problem and ran into this  Not really possible to revert back to when it was working       PHP Fatal error   Call to undefined function mb detect encoding   in         usr share php gettext gettext inc on line 177   When trying to go the the site  I get this error  I think it s likely the two errors are related       Database connection error  1   The MySQL adapter  mysqli  is not available

It looks like your PHP installation does not have the mbstring extension and the mysqli adapter extension installed   Please check your phpinfo    or run php -i   grep  mbstring  mysqli  in a terminal

What helped me  using XAMPP on Windows  was to    make sure that my path included the correct path for PHP  I had two PHP installations  one under c  php and the XAMPP installation in c  xampp php which was the one I wanted to use  check that the lines  extension dir  C  xampp php ext   extension php mbstring dll  extension php exif dll        Must be after mbstring as it depends on it  were uncommented in the php ini file  i e  no   at the beginning  restart the Apache server last but not least  clear the cache when reloading the page http   localhost phpmyadmin    for instance with Ctrl-F5 in Chrome

Some versions of windows do not come with libmysql dll which is necessary to load the mysql and mysqli extensions  Check if it is available in C  Windows System32  windows 7  32 bits   If not  you can download it DLL-files com and install it under C  Windows System32   If this persists  check your apache log files and resort to a solution above which responds to the error logged by your server

My guess would be to check that the mysqli extension is enabled in your PHP configuration  More info would be great  eg  OS  AMP stack  etc     Check in your php ini configuration for mysqli and make sure there is no     in front of the extension  The one enabled on my setup is php mysqli libmysql dll

I had the same trouble  this is what worked for me    You can click at the wampserver icon  then at the PHP error log   Check if it says this   Unable to load dynamic library  c  wamp bin php php5 5 12 ext php ldap dll   If yes  then you can reload your version of PHP  by clicking at the wampserver icon  then PHP  then version  and then you click at your version   Wait for everything to be online again  then try to access phpmyadmin

First error is caused by php because the extension mbstring is either not installed or not active   The second error is output of phpMyAdmin your site asking you to install   enable the mysqli extension   To enable mbstring and mysqli edit your php ini and add uncomment the two lines with mbstring so and mysqli so on unix or mbstring dll and mysqli dll on windows  Unix  etc  phpX  php ini  extension mysqli so extension mbstring so   Windows PHP installation folder etc php ini  extension mysqli dll extension mbstring dll   Don t forget to restart your webserver after this   EDIT  User added he was using redhat in the comments so here s how you install extensions on all CentOS Fedora RedHat Yum based linux distros  sudo yum install php-mysqli sudo yum install php-mbstring  restart your werbserver sudo  etc init d httpd restart   you can verify your installation with a little php script in your document root  This lists all settings  versions and active extensions you ve installed for php  test php   lt  php phpinfo
