Moving a site containing CMS 3.02 to a VPS. After upload, received this error after attempting to go to the CMS folder:
This program requires the PHP 'mbstring' extension.
Please ask your hosting provider (or server administrator) to install missing PHP extension(s).
This is a new one on me.

Dave: What OS is your VM? I use Ubuntu 14 and had the same issue. After installing Lamp server I had to update PHP5 by adding php5-mbstring. It may also be that Apache2 requires mbstring.
For Ubuntu 14
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install lamp-server^ phpmyadmin
sudo apt-get install php5-mbstring
sudo service apache2 restart
If you are using a Windoze server, I suggest you install WAMP.
Good luck!

Ok then, depending on your Linux distribution, you need to update php5-mbstring. If you provide me the distribution & version, I can send you the command line actions required.
