Nginx PHP mbstring

Question

I used this tutorial to install nginx on my Centos server http://moon.mastipoint.net/research/nginx-php-fpm-mysql-on-centos.html. I have everything running, however, I can't figure out how to install the php mbstring extension.

I've tried yum install php-mbstring.i386 but it returns the following error:

--> Running transaction check ---> Package php-mbstring.i386 0:5.1.6-27.el5_5.3 set to be updated --> Processing Dependency: php-common = 5.1.6-27.el5_5.3 for package: php-mbstring --> Finished Dependency Resolution php-mbstring-5.1.6-27.el5_5.3.i386 from base has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: php-common = 5.1.6-27.el5_5.3 is needed by package php-mbstring-5.1.6-27.el5_5.3.i386 (base) Error: Missing Dependency: php-common = 5.1.6-27.el5_5.3 is needed by package php-mbstring-5.1.6-27.el5_5.3.i386 (base) 

Thanks.

The script suggested by that blog post installs the Webtatic repo and uses it for its PHP packages. Try

yum --enablerepo=webtatic install php-mbstring
