Virtualmin
1

**Operating system:**CentOS Linux
**OS version:**7.9.2009
Virtualmin 6.14

Hello,
just installed php 7.4 but need to install mbstring separately for that version. Tried various options but didn’t work for me. Tried:
yum -y install php74-php-{mbstring}
and also
yum install rh-php74-php-mbstring

but no luck. Please help with some advice if possible. Thanks.

Hi,

What do you see if you run this?

yum search mbstring
