Installing php-mbstring on RHEL6
Submitted by John on Tue, 2011-03-01 10:00
I wanted to install the mbstring PHP extension on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. But to my surprise, it wasn't there:
# yum install php-mbstring
Loaded plugins: rhnplugin
Setting up Install Process
No package php-mbstring available.
Error: Nothing to do
That's because the package is in the RHEL Server Optional repository.
I went into RHN and enabled the repository:
After doing yum update
I could do yum install php-mbstring
with no problems.
