The apache2 "It works!" page appeared when I used a web browser to go to
http://localhost/
But when I browsed
http://localhost/phpmyadmin
the phpMyAdmin icon appeared in the browser title bar and the message "The mbstring extension is missing." appeared in the canvas. I tried
http://localhost/phpmyadmin/index.php
and got the same thing. However, php7.1-mbstring is installed!
In Nautilus, I browsed to /var/www/html, that is, DocRoot, but there is no phpmyadmin/ folder there! Shouldn't there be a phpmyadmin/index.php file in the doc root (web root?)?
How come I am even getting a message from phpMyAdmin in the browser? And how do I fix the mbstring issue?

I had the same issue, mbstring for PHP 7.1 was installed and enabled yet phpmyadmin was telling me otherwise.
We were both right, mbstring for 7.1 was installed but apache was running on PHP7.0 after the upgrade, so I swapped PHP versions...
a2dismod php7.0
a2enmod PHP7.1
restarted apache2 and all was good.
(this happened right after a release-upgrade to 17.10 which reported some issues)
