K2 | The powerful content extension for Joomla! developed by JoomlaWorks

when editing any K2 items i am getting this error.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mb_internal_encoding() in E:\domains\p\penman.co.uk\user\htdocs\administrator\components\com_k2\tables\k2item.php on line 80


now the sites live and i can see that it is trying to point to E:\ but i am not sure how you change this

any ideas?

thanks

Check your K2 information tab and see if mb string is enabled on your server.

I have just installed K2 and got the same error:
"Fatal error: Call to undefined function mb_internal_encoding() in …\administrator\components\com_k2\tables\k2category.php on line 92"

The problem is in the php.ini file;
go to: …/php/pgp.ini and open the file in the editor; locate the following line:

; extension=php_mbstring.dll

un-comment it – delete the “;” something like this.

extension=php_mbstring.dll ; Tony-K2 uncommented 7/14/2012

Exit - save the file.
This may require restarting your server Apache.
If you’re on local server you can do this:

• Windows -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools - > Services
• Select

the Apache service and click – Restart.

Go to Joomla-K2 and try to import, should be working.
Let me know if this helped!

God bless,

Hello to you. I have a problem locating php.ini to make the changes... It should be on: Configuration File (php.ini) Path /usr/lib
But I can't find something like this. Can you help me please
[When I try to create a new item (article) in k2, the error message you reffer is appearing. This happened whith no reason yesterday..)

Thank you.

Go to Joomla! administration and click Site->System Information->PHP Information. In that page you will see where the loaded ini file is located.

Yes is found this: Configuration File (php.ini) Path /usr/lib
It should be at the usr/lib but I can't locate this dir in public_html when I am connecting with ftp client!..

This file is not in your public_html. If you do not know how to change it, ask your hosting provider to do this for you.

How I will locate this path? With ftp? If yes in witch folder it is, if not in public_html?
