You need to SSH into your Linode and install mbstring extension. It is not automatically installed when you install PHP, and needs to be installed separately. You can run the following command to install the php extension.
Red Hat / CentOS / Fedora
sudo yum install php-mbstring
Ubuntu / Debian
sudo apt-get install php-mbstring
