I have installed LAMP on Fedora following this tutorial with some change, The installation finished with no problem. But when I tried to access http://localhost/phpmyadmin, this error notify appear. I have already search on google and try all option on the thread linked above.

I changed php.ini configuration:

extension=mbstring.so

This are the Extensions on /usr/lib64/php/modules

    just run:

    systemctl restart php-fpm
