Topic: mbstring.http_input must be set to pass

Hi,

    I'm trying to install phpBB3 for our project, but I keep getting:

         HTTP input character conversion:
           mbstring.http_input must be set to pass.
         HTTP output character conversion:
           mbstring.http_output must be set to pass.

I've tried appending this:

php_value mbstring.http_input pass
php_value mbstring.http_output pass

to the .htaccess file, but it causes an internal server error. Any idea how to fix?

Best,
Maxwell S.

Re: mbstring.http_input must be set to pass

Could you try adding the following to phpBB3 config.php ?

ini_set("mbstring.http_input", "pass");
ini_set("mbstring.http_output", "pass");
