Zabbix 1.8 MBstring?

[kunstfpa]

Is it OK to change mbstring.func_overload back to 0 after installation of Zabbix 1.8?

(mediawiki and phpmyadmin don't like func_overload = 2).

I've just changed it back to fix a mediawiki on the same box. My zabbix seems to be behaving itself.

Did you set mbstring.func_overload = 2 in php.ini and restarted web server ?

Yes, but the problem remains...

Verify using php_info() if your mbstring module is enabled.

i'm using a firefoxplugin "web developer", with this i can enable disabled buttons in forms. of course this overrides zabbix checks for compliance, but it helped me installing 1.8 when it was complaining about a lot of stuff that it shouldn't complain about....

latest installation wizard (which will be in 1.8.1 i assume) seems to be much better anyway....

Jacio - I had the exact same issue

i installed the php-mbstring module with 'yum –y install php-mbstring'

However, first i had an issue with the php-common dependency when I tried to run the above, so first I did 'yum -y erase php-common', then installed it again 'yum -y install php-common', then I was able to run 'yum –y install php-mbstring'


I reinstalled Zabbix and now it passes the install checklist

I'm not an expert in linux by any means, but this worked for me.

Hi jpv,

After a time..
I decided by the reinstall of the server.
thanks for your help.

I have Zabbix 1.8.1 running on SLES10 and all dependencies are correct except for this MB string overload.

I've changed the MB string overload value to 2 in /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini.

I double checked the locales.inc.php file for the 2 offending lines and they were already commented out.

MBString is installed, as Zabbix does show that it passes that pre-req check.

Do any devs follow this thread? This seems like it should be a simple fix, but something is not right here....

This is going to sound dumb, and i'm not being a wise-ass, but did you stop/start apache? Honestly, this worked for me after i'd been through the same hoops as you. (CentOS5.4, RPM-based Apache2)

Idem in PHP 5.2.5

I confirm this problem. The problem exists only for PHP 5.0.x and 5.1.x. PHP 5.2 and later versions will work fine.

Removing or commenting these two lines is absolutely correct workaround as these functions are not used anywhere in the front-end.

Sorry for this problem.

Hello,

This issue occurs with PHP 5.2.5 on Linux RedHat 3.0 Enterprise
