If you don't have a php.ini being loaded, then you probably are not loading the module. This is what I would try, rename that php.ini.default to php.ini and make sure that the following lines exist within it. extension=mbstring.so extension=exif.so Restart your web service, FastCGI service, etc... and see if phpinfo() now has it listed.
