installation phpmyadmin-error:The mbstring extension is missing. In my php.ini mbstring is active(semi-colon is removed)

Question

I don't manage installation phpmyadmin-4.4.12-all-languages. If I write in my browser http://localhost/phpmyadmin44/, it appears: phpmyadmin - error. The mbstring extension is missing. Please check your PHP configuration. In my file php.ini, mbstring extension is active(semi-colon is removed). In my computer is working Apache24,PHP56,MySQL56. Thank you.

Answer 1

Even if php.ini contains a reference to the mbstring extension, it does not mean that the file is present in your extension directory. You have to install a package containing this extension. If your server is on Linux, the package may be called php5-mbstring.

Answer 2

It's easier to install a complete and tested kit like XAMPP (see http://xampp.org).
