Hi,

I installed basic xampp with the installer from
http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html#524.

When I started Apache from the panel, I got a window with the error
message:
This application has failed to start because php_mbstring.dll was
not found. Re-installing ...

I tried to re-install but it did not help.

I found in the web references to this problem but everything that they
suggest is already correct at my php.ini: definition of extension_dir
and php_exif.dll appears after mbstring.

In the control-panel - the status of Apache is running and the start
button was replaced by a stop button.

Apache and PHP are new for me.

Thanks,
David
