Virtualmin/phpMyAdmin issue

Submitted by gr8kodr on Sat, 02/04/2017 - 21:52

I have installed phpMyAdmin via Virtualmin ->Install Script

PHP version = 7.0.13
Current phpMyAdmin version = 4.6.6

when attempting to access http://domain.tld/phpmyadmin I see an mbstring error (mbstring not available)

Where (within Virtualmin) do I find the php.ini file so that I can enable mbstring?

Status: 
Active

Howdy -- is that preventing you from logging in, or is it just a warning message?

Also, what is the "RecodingEngine" option set to in the phpMyAdmin config?

managed to get to phpMyAdmin login screen ....

had to SSH to server and run:
sudo apt-get install php-mbstring php7.0-mbstring php-gettext
then restart apache

Thanks for letting us know how you fixed this -- I think we may need to have those packages installed by default.

the instructions I found on the web also included mcrypt in the apt-get set, but on my system this was already installed

Where do I find the phpMyAdmin config file so I can check the "RecodingEngine" option?

The config file is in /home/USERNAME/public_html/PHPMYADMINFOLDER/config.inc.php.
