Fatal error: Call to undefined function mb_strlen() in...

I have just installed MODx, and when I go to the site where the cms is installed I get this error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function mb_strlen() in /home/account/public_html/cmsfolder1/assets/snippets/ajaxSearch/classes/ajaxSearch.class.inc.php on line 359. So I am wondering if someone could please tell me why I am getting this message, and how get I fix it?

I have just logged out of the admin section, and now I am getting a HTTP 500 Internal Server Error where the cms is installed.

You need to have the php_mbstring module enabled in your php.ini. Some setups have it disabled by default.

If that’s not possible, you can try changing mb_strlen() to just strlen() in the file referenced in the error message.

Here is the same problem in how to correct it
