Hi everyone, I installed the mbstring extension for PHP 8.4 on aaPanel and it is working correctly on the server. PHP scripts can use mbstring functions without any issue. However, inside the PHP Manager (php-8.4 Manage -> Install extensions), aaPanel still shows mbstring as not installed and only displays the green “Install” button. I already verified: php -m | grep mbstring returns mbstring phpinfo() shows mbstring enabled PHP-FPM restarted successfully Extension works normally in applications So this seems to be only a UI/status detection problem inside aaPanel. Has anyone experienced this before or knows how aaPanel checks installed extensions internally? I attached a screenshot below. Thanks.

I checked the phpinfo output and mbstring is enabled correctly: Multibyte Support => enabled mbstring section is present in phpinfo() So PHP itself loads and uses the extension correctly. The issue seems to be only the aaPanel PHP Manager UI showing the wrong installation status.

aaPanel PHP 8.4: mbstring Works but Shows as Not Installed in Manager

Hi everyone,

I installed the mbstring extension for PHP 8.4 on aaPanel and it is working correctly on the server. PHP scripts can use mbstring functions without any issue.

However, inside the PHP Manager (php-8.4 Manage -> Install extensions), aaPanel still shows mbstring as not installed and only displays the green “Install” button.

I already verified:

php -m | grep mbstring returns mbstring
phpinfo() shows mbstring enabled
PHP-FPM restarted successfully
Extension works normally in applications

So this seems to be only a UI/status detection problem inside aaPanel.

Has anyone experienced this before or knows how aaPanel checks installed extensions internally?

I attached a screenshot below.

Thanks.

This should be built-in, please check the phpinfo information

I checked the phpinfo output and mbstring is enabled correctly:

Multibyte Support => enabled
mbstring section is present in phpinfo()

So PHP itself loads and uses the extension correctly.
The issue seems to be only the aaPanel PHP Manager UI showing the wrong installation status.
