[Owncloud] PHP module mb multibyte can't be found after ownCloud update

[Frank Karlitschek]

Hi Advrk,

mb multibyte is a new requirement which was unfortunately introduced when we switched to SabreDAV.

Do you have root access to the server? If yes this can usually fixed install a php-mbstring package
something like apt-get  install  php-mbstring

I hope this helps.

In general we have to be more careful with introducing new dependencies which are not in every default php installation.


Cheers
Frank
