Installed PHP using phpbrew, now phpmyadmin gives mbstring extension error

Question

Installed an earlier PHP version for a fresh Ubuntu install using phpbrew and now my phpmyadmin is throwing an error.

Mistake:

The mbstring extension is missing. Please check your PHP configuration.

OS: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

I uninstalled and reinstalled phpmyadmin, restarted the Apache server to no avail.

What am I missing?

Thank!

To install mbstring,

sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5

restart Apache server

and .. go to your php.ini to activate the extension.
