How do I install mbstring with PHP on CentOS 6.2
I’ve tried:
$ sudo yum install php-mbstring Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, security Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: mirror.net.cen.ct.gov * extras: centos.aol.com * updates: mirrors.seas.harvard.edu Setting up Install Process No package php-mbstring available. Error: Nothing to do
But no packages were found?

Answer
do the following:
sudo nano /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo
under the section updates, comment out the mirrorlist line (put a # in front of the line), then on a new line write:
baseurl=http://centos.intergenia.de/$releasever/updates/$basearch/
now try:
yum install php-mbstring
(afterwards you’ll probably want to uncomment the mirrorlist and comment out the baseurl)
