Php – Cannot access phptheadmin in apache server

apacheMySQLPHPphpmyadmin

I have followed this tutorial for installation of php, mysql, apache and phpmyadmin :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZ2zbO6PABk
and towards the end when he tried to access phpmyadmin he got the following error but resolved it :

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mb_detect_encoding() in
C:\Apache24\htdocs\phpMyAdmin\libraries\php-gettext\gettext.inc on
line 177

I am now still having issue. Like this question:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mb_detect_encoding()

I have also made sure ive uncommented out and unblocked the following extensions:

extension=php_gd2.dll

extension=php_mbstring.dll

extension=php_exif.dll

extension=php_mysql.dll

extension=php_mysqli.dll

What else am I missing?

PHP Fatal error when trying to access phptheadmin mb_detect_encoding

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

<?php
phpinfo();
