Make sure you update your linux box first  yum update   In case someone still has this problem  this is a valid solution      centos-release   rpm -q centos-release   Centos 6    wget http   download fedoraproject org pub epel 6 x86 64 epel-release-6-8 noarch rpm rpm -ivh epel-release-6-8 noarch rpm wget http   rpms famillecollet com enterprise remi-release-6 rpm rpm -Uvh remi-release-6  rpm   Centos 5    wget http   ftp jaist ac jp pub Linux Fedora epel 5 x86 64 epel-release-5-4 noarch rpm rpm -ivh epel-release-5-4 noarch rpm wget http   rpms famillecollet com enterprise remi-release-5 rpm rpm -Uvh remi-release-5  rpm   Then just do this to update   yum --enablerepo remi upgrade php-mbstring   Or this to install   yum --enablerepo remi install php-mbstring

I have experienced the same issue before  In my case  I needed to install php-mbstring extension on GoDaddy VPS server  None of above solutions did work for me   What I ve found is to install PHP extensions using WHM  Web Hosting Manager  of GoDaddy  Anyone who use GoDaddy VPS server can access this page with the following address      http    Your Server IP Address  2087   On this page  you can easily find Easy Apache software that can help you to install upgrade php components and extensions  You can select currently installed profile and customize and then provision the profile  Everything with Easy Apache is explanatory   I remember that I did very similar things for HostGator server  but I don t remember how actually I did for profile update   Edit  When you have got the server which supports Web Hosting Manager  then you can add update remove php extensions on WHM  On godaddy servers  it s even recommended to update PHP ini settings on WHM

None of above works for godaddy server centOS 6  apache 2 4  php 5 6  Instead  you should   Install the mbstring PHP Extension with EasyApache  check if you already have it by  putty or ssh  php -m   grep mbstring     if nothing  means missing mbstring   Now you need to goto godaddy your account page    click manager server   open whm ----- search for apache   open  easy apache 4  my case   Now you need customize currently installed packages   by  click  customize  button on top line next to  currently installed package      search mbstring     click on off toggle next to it   click next  next       privision  done   Now you should have mbstring  by check again at putty ssh   php -m   grep mbstring   should see mbstring   or you can find mbstring at phpinfo   page

If you have cPanel hosting you can use Easy Apache to do this through shell  These are the steps    Type the Easy Apache PathType the path for Easy Apache     root vps           scripts easyapache  Do not say yes to the  cPanel update available   Continue through the screens with defaults till you get to the  Exhaustive options list   Page down till you see the Mbstring extension listed and select it  Continue through the Steps and Save the Apache PHP build    Apache and PHP will now rebuild to include the mbstring extension  Wait for the process to finish  10 to 30 minutes  Once the process is finished you should see the Mbstring extension in the phpinfo now   For more detailed steps see the article  Installing the mbstring extension with Easy Apache

As yum install php-mbstring then httpd -k restart didn t do it for me  I think these options should be compiled  as documented here      Now  configure and build PHP  This is where you customize PHP with   various options  like which extensions will be enabled  Run     configure --help for a list of available options  In our example   we ll do a simple configure with Apache 2 and MySQL support       If you built Apache from source  as described above  the below example   will match your path for apxs  but if you installed Apache some other   way  you ll need to adjust the path to apxs accordingly  Note that   some distros may rename apxs to apxs2   cd    php-NN   configure --with-apxs2  usr local apache2 bin apxs --with-mysql --enable-mbstring make make install       If you decide to change your configure options after installation    you ll need to re-run the configure  make  and make install steps  You   only need to restart apache for the new module to take effect  A   recompile of Apache is not needed       Note that unless told otherwise   make install  will also install   PEAR  various PHP tools such as phpize  install the PHP CLI  and more    Though this page says it s optional      --enable-mbstring        Allows multibyte character string support  This is optional  as slower custom code will be used if not available
