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!
