  1. Is there a way that a user of a shared hosting account can install this on his account only or is this only installable via the main hosting company admin?
    Reason I ask is that I am on a shared hosting that is on a reseller account, so I have to go through several layers of support to get to the proper person in charge sometimes.

    Thanks!

  2. Hi Daryl,

    Unfortunately there isn’t a way to install mb_string yourself on a shared account. This is because PHP requires a recompile from source code to get the extension installed. You’ll have to ask your host company if they could install it on the servers, but it’s worth a try.

  3. Hi,
    One of my aplications is showing a message about an error on some swift.php file, It seems that PHP module ‘mbstring’ is not installed or reflecting with PHP, due to which I’m facing this error. But I already have mbstring installed. Indeed, i follow this and your post about Fedora (I have Fedora on My server). What do you think is causing this issue?

    Regards
