My Centos6 webserver is running php 5.6 and php 7.1 (webmin/virtualmin). I already have mbstring installed for php 5.6, but I also need it for 7.1. When I do yum install php71w-mbstring I get the following error:

Error: php71w-common conflicts with php56w-common-5.6.40-1.w7.x86_64

I thought the package names being different (php71w vs php56w) were supposed to prevent this type of conflict?

How can I get mbstring for php 7.1 installed without breaking php 5.6?

Thanks!

Where did you get PHP 7.1 from? – Michael Hampton Jun 12 '20 at 03:21
@MichaelHampton that's a good question - it shows webtatic in the yum list, but those don't appear to be installed. It may have been installed by webmin/virtualmin. How else can I tell where it was from? – Ryan Griggs Jun 12 '20 at 03:24
