I ahve file a ticke on my hosting but keeping me a redundunt answer... My hosting is 100webspace.net
the error is
Unicode library Error
Multibyte string input conversion in PHP is active and must be disabled. Check the php.ini mbstring.http_input setting. Please refer to the PHP mbstring documentation for more information.
Can anybody know how to fix it? I installed the drupal by elefante web installer.
The support only say that.
You will have to create a custom php.ini file containing these lines:
mbstring.http_input = pass
mbstring.http_output = pass
Then put the .ini file into your drupal folder.

Thank you for contacting our Technical Support Department.
In order to do this you have to create a custom php.ini file in the installation folder of the script with this content in it:
mbstring.http_input = pass
mbstring.http_output = pass
This should solve the problem.
Best Regards,
Viktor

This is the simplest solution for mbstring error.
On localhost open software installer (i use fedora ie)
on search look for php mbstring
there select it and system automatically installs it.
On a remote server
find file named
php-mbstring-5.2.5-1.i386.rpm
(5.2.5-1 is my current php version)
then as a root user
install it with rpm command.
On a shared environment you have to ask your system admin to solve this for you
These steps are also ok for debian but of course .deb files and debian installation.
2¢, hope this clears your problem.
