Yesterday, I have problem with phpmyadmin. I can’t access phpmyadmin and get a error ‘The mbstring extension is missing. Please check your PHP configuration.’

That problem appear after i install other webserver (wamp) in my computer.

So, in my computer i have two webserver :
1. webserver apache2.4 (install manually with php, mysql, etc)
2. webserver using ‘wamp‘ (bundle).

I’m searching for the solution, and then i uninstalling the ‘wamp’ server, but the error still exist ‘The mbstring extension is missing. Please check your PHP configuration.’

Ouh!, im confused ..
I also check whether extension ‘mbstring’ is enabled

thats enabled ..!!!!!

whats wrong with my webserver?
Ok, i still trying for other solution .. heemm..

I think, when i uninstalling the ‘wamp’ server, the folder installation still exist ..

So, i change it to

And restart apache2.4, click start

Open http://localhost/phpmyadmin

wow!! problem solved … yeeeaaah

– Restart your apache
