Installation on EasyApache 4
You can not execute EasyApache script via command line in EasyApache 4. However, you can manage it simply from the WHM panel. cPanel only support EasyApache 4 on systems that run CentOS 6 or 7, CloudLinux 6 or 7, or Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 or 7, and run cPanel & WHM version 11.52 or higher.
EasyApache 4 offers the following improvements over EasyApache 3:
- Binary packages
- Software collections
- Path reorganization
- MultiPHP support
- Post-update actions
Please do the following steps to enable Mbstring via EasyApache 4.
Step 1 : Log into WHM as root user.
Step 2 : Click on “EasyApache 4” under Software tab.
Step 3 : Click on “Customize” button.
Step 4 : Turn on Mbstring for preferred PHP versions.
Step 5 : Scroll down and click on “Next” button.
Step 6 : Scroll down and click on “Provision” button.
That’s it!!
Let me know if you’ve any questions on this topic.
Thank you bro, Very Helpful, but my server is CENTOS, not support.
You are most welcome!
Dear Friend. My server was also Centos but it worked. Please check that you are finishing it with clicking on provision button at last page at the bottom
Tq very much. I could enable mbstring.
You are most welcome, Nandkishor!
Dear Arunlal Ashok, My confusion is this:
On my local machine (php 5.5.12, apache 2.4.9) using WAMP, I install the php_mbstring extension and enable it by uncommenting its entry in php.ini. (this resolves a problem that arises when installing drupal 8)
On CentOS using cpanel, when I install the mbstring extension, I still get the error. I’m wondering if wondering if I should do the same to some php.ini file on the server. Does easyapache install and enable it automatically, or one has to uncomment an entry?
Hi Kobena,
On a CentOS 6 cPanel server, you can enable this from the EA itself. Please check the server has CloudLinux, if so you need to remove the entry from php.ini and need to enable it from cPanel → PHP selector.
nice and great post .
Thanks 🙂
Thank you so much! The screenshots helped me find the extension!
