    Cannot install ATutor 16

    We cannot install ATutor 1.6 for testing because the "mbstring" is Disabled.
    We tried to config "mbstring" in the php.ini (see attachment) but it still doesn't work.
    Please help.
    Thank you.

    Re: Cannot install ATutor 1.6

    Does your server have mbstring installed?

    You can search for "mbstring" in the phpinfo() output, or type "rpm -q php-mbstring" in the console (I assume the command will go for CentOS). In the latter case, you'll see either a version or a "not installed" message.

    If it isn't, you should be able to find an appropriate RPM on the installation DVD/CD or download.

    I have italian server: Tophost and in this server I cannot install ATutor 1.6 for testing because the "mbstring" is not there. For My Host is impossible enable mbstring for the next future.
    It's possible install atutor without mbstring?

    Re: Cannot install ATutor 1.6

    Most servers nowadays have mbstring capabilities, so your ISP really should upgrade their system to include it. It only takes a few minutes to install.

    With Italian you might get away with just using the ATutor builtin utf-8 library (but maybe not). You can disable the mbstring check in the install/index.php file by commenting out the mbstring related lines. This may get you up and running, but it is not a solution if you plan to use the system as a production environment. That system must include mbstring support.

    If you are not using RPMs, you would need to recompiling PHP with the --enable-mbstring flag added.

    Thank you very much; we have installed "mbstring" and it works ok.
