PhpMyAdmin install errors

Question

I've just installed phpmyadmin on Linux Fedora 13 with PHP 5.3.3. I get the following 2 errors:

First: I get this on the login screen:

Cannot load mcrypt extension. Please check your PHP configuration.

-The solutions I googled for this one was to yum install mcrypt and enable it in /etc/php.ini with

extension=php_mcrypt.dll
extension=php_mcrypt_filter.dll

Did all that, but no go.

This second one shows up when I login:

The mbstring PHP extension was not found and you seem to be using a multibyte charset. Without the mbstring extension phpMyAdmin is unable to split strings correctly and it may result in unexpected results.

Wondering a) How can I fix these and b) What do they affect?

Thanks-

If you're using Linux you might not want `.dll` modules. They usually end in `.so`. — Linus Kleen, Dec 01 '10 at 17:45

Look which resource file is being loaded by examining $_SERVER['PHPRC']. This value points to the directory where PHP looks for php.ini. I doubt that it's /etc.

Then install the right package, which is php-mcrypt.

And apparently in Ubuntu installing this will fix this issue:

     sudo apt-get install php-mbstring php7.0-mbstring

In case you are using Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php7.0 
sudo apt-get install php7.0-mbstring

followed by

sudo service apache2 restart

should work.
