So the new CentOS VPS didn't come with mbstring enabled. Easy enough, right? I typed 'yum install php-mbstring' It then says "Error: Nothing to do." The only thing I can figure is that I'm missing the repository for the php functions. I'm kind of surprised that this isn't included by default given how imperative it is for web servers. Since I'm used to Debian systems, I'm not really all the familiar with adding repositories for RHEL systems.
Anybody have any suggestions for getting this installed and working?

Are you sure that php-mbstring isn't already installed? You might just have to enable mbstring in php.ini

Reinstalling php and enabling it via the installer might work too.
