MBstring is a library that allows you to work with multibyte characters in PHP. This can be useful if you need to work with characters that are not supported by the default PHP character set.

To enable MBstring on your WHM/CPanel VPS, you will first need to install the MBstring library. You can do this by visiting the MBstring website and downloading the appropriate package for your system.

Once you have installed the MBstring library, you will need to configure your VPS to use it.

To do this, you will first need to create a configuration file for MBstring. To do this, open the file /etc/php/7.

0/apache2/conf.d/mbstring.ini and add the following line to it:.

mbstring.language = “en_US.UTF-8”

Next, you will need to restart the Apache web server. To do this, open the file /etc/init.d/apache2 and enter the following command:

sudo service apache2 restart

Once the Apache web server has restarted, you will need to reload the MBstring configuration file.ini and enter the following command:.

php -r mbstring.ini

Finally, you will need to enable MBstring in your WHM/CPanel VPS settings. To do this, open the file /usr/local/apache2/conf.

PRO TIP: If you are not a technical person, it is recommended that you do not attempt to enable MBstring on your VPS. This can potentially cause serious problems with your server if not done correctly.

extension=mbstring.so,/usr/local/apache2/lib/php/7.

0/extensions/mbstring.so.

Once you have added the line extension=mbstring.so to the file /usr/local/apache2/conf.ini, you will need to reload the file by entering the following command:.

php -r /usr/local/apache2/conf.ini

You should now be able to use MBstring in your WHM/CPanel VPS. You can do this by entering the following command in your WHM/CPanel VPS:
