I am having a problem since I upgraded my sql php and phpmyadmin. I was running ver 3.23 sql and 4.+ of php and a really old version of phpmyadmin.

I am now running the following:
phpmyadmin ver. 2.7.0-pl2
Mysql Ver: MySQL 5.2.3-falcon-alpha
PHP Version 5.2.1
Apache/2.0.51 (Fedora Core 2)

Problems:
1. When I log on to my phpmyadmin screen i get an error message as follows:
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

I have run the YUM update for this and it says it is current.

I also have edited the php.ini file in /etc so uncomment that extension line.

Next.
2. When I try and browse a database table it will not allow me to do it. The same with inserting a record. I have multiple databases here that are all working. EXCEPT through phpmyadmin

When I choose a database and then click operations I get this error:
Error
The additional features for working with linked tables have been deactivated. To find out why click here.

When i click it is another error that says:
PMA Database ... not OK[ Documentation ]
General relation features Disabled

Then it takes me to a doc page thats way over my head.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. If someone can just fix it for me please let me know a cost.

Thanks
