Laravel 5 webapp not working becasuse of mbstring

Question

I migrated a Laravel 5 webapp from one server to new server. This webapp is working with nginx and php-fpm. I installed php by downloading php tar file and compiling.

When I do curl http://127.0.0.1:80 I have the following error:

: Call to undefined function Illuminate\\Foundation\\Bootstrap\\mb_internal_encoding() in on line ：在第行的调用未定义函数Illuminate \\ Foundation \\ Bootstrap \\ mb_internal_encoding（）

I know that I get files related to mbstring on path /opt/php-5.6.30/ext/mbstring

I enabled zend.multibyte = On and extension=php_mbstring.dll on php.ini localted on /usr/local/php/php.ini . I rebooted and executed php-fpm but I'm without success.

Nginx version 1.12.2, PHP version 5.6.36. Redhat 7.6.
I can't install by yum install php-mbstring . Configure Command ./configure --enable-fpm --with-mysql on php.ini .

How can I enable mbstring?

You need to upgrade your php version to 7+. You cannot use php 5.6 unless you are using laravel 5.4 or below
