After I did the upgrade i get this error. Fatal error: Call to undefined function mb_internal_encoding() in /home/elinkone/public_html/administrator/components/com_k2/tables/k2category.php on line 46

I have looked at the other posts on this subject. Changed my php.ini file restarted my server and I still get this error.

Please help.

I really want to use this great component.

Also The k2 style sheet is not being included.

I think this really should be pointed out PRIOR to upgrade. I've been running my own VPS for sometime, and this is the first time I've had a need for this module. I'm thinking there might be a number of hosting environments K2 will no longer work on... are you sure this is really needed?

Hi. Yes this is needed in order to handle multilingual URLs.

I am using dedicated server, so there have 8 fields on Multibyte String as...

mbstring.detect_order
mbstring.encoding_translation
mbstring.http_input
mbstring.func_overload
mbstring.http_input
mbstring.http_output
mbstring.internal_encoding
mbstring.language
mbstring.substitute_character

plz tell me what should be proper parameters for these?

thank u, it is working.

Yo tengo el mismo problema y nadie puede decirme que es o como se soluciona.
Mi servidor me confirmo que todo estaria activado correctamente y sigue sin funcionar, ya no se donde preguntar o con quien hablar. Incluso estoy pensando en cambiar de servidor.
En tal caso podrian decirme que servidor seria el que tengo que contratar para no tener este problema. Estoy tratando de desarrollar un proyecto ya probado en mi servidor local y no lo puedo hacer por este problema. Gracias

When I contacted my hosting company, GoDaddy, they informed me that I need to do that with an .htaccess file. I looked at the one I used for the SEF URLs and didn't see anything about Multi-byte support. This is way above my head. Any ideas on where to go to get an effective .htaccess file?

on my godaddy shared server account i had to rename the htaccess.txt to .htaccess then add the following two lines.

AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .php
AddHandler x-httpd-php .php4

This fixed the error for me.

Thanks Kaleb for the response.

I changed the htaccess.txt file to .htaccess in order to get my search engine friendly URLs in place. Thanks for the tip on the two lines to add. I never would have figured that out. I take it you just added them at the end of the file or did they need to go someplace specific?

yeah. I added them to the end of file where there were no comment marks (#), but you technically you can add them anywhere in the file so long as it's not commented out. It make 20 - 30 mins to see the change. I saw mine pretty much immediately but I remember changing the htaccess file once and having to wait a little while before seeing the change.

Kaleb, it worked! It worked immediately (except that it took me a couple months to get around to it :) )

Thank you.

Ok I upgraded my server to support multiple phps like you said and it didn't do nothing. I still get the error. Can someone help? When I edit the htaccess file to add the the 2 lines of code my whole site goes down and he administrator panel doesn't work.

Please help!

If you have the admin panel working go to Components - K2 and click the information tab. Be sure its not on your server before editing htaccess.
Go into K2 paramaters and dont change anything, just click save then x, Sometimes depending on the version that will fix some errors.

Ok sorry am a little confused, bear with me. Got my admin back up and k2 is installed. So go to components, then info. Be sure what's not on my server, the htaccess file? And I guess this means I still need to add those pieces of code? Here is my information tab. Not sure what I'm looking for.
Thanks for your help. I have installed and unstalled this site like 5 times already. Just ready to get this fixed. Thanks again!

your info says multibite is enabled...leave the htaccess along for a bit and come back to it if you have to.
go to Components - K2 - at the top right click paramaters, then click save, then click x
see if it works now
