Ubuntu 18.04: laravel/framework v6.9.0 requires ext-mbstring * -> the requested PHP extension mbstring is missing from your system

Before someone takes this down for duplication. I've checked the other pages and they weren't helpful.

I'm trying to install a package for Laravel 6 on PHP 7.2. I've also tried PHP 7.4.

Unfortunately, I get the following error:

laravel/framework v6.9.0 requires ext-mbstring * -> the requested PHP extension mbstring is missing from your system.

I've installed mbstring and uncommented it in both the php.ini files for 7.2 and 7.4:

extension=mbstring

The only solution to this I would know is restarting the apache2 server. But I still get the error.

My composer.json is requiring PHP 7.2.

I'm also presented with these errors:

- Installation request for laravel/framework (locked at v6.9.0, required as ^6.2) -> satisfiable by laravel/framework[v6.9.0].

  To enable extensions, verify that they are enabled in your .ini files:
    - /etc/php/7.4/cli/php.ini
    - /etc/php/7.4/cli/conf.d/10-mysqlnd.ini
    - /etc/php/7.4/cli/conf.d/10-opcache.ini

    - /etc/php/7.4/cli/conf.d/20-ctype.ini
    - /etc/php/7.4/cli/conf.d/20-dom.ini

    - /etc/php/7.4/cli/conf.d/20-mysqli.ini

    - /etc/php/7.4/cli/conf.d/20-xmlreader.ini
    - /etc/php/7.4/cli/conf.d/20-xmlwriter.ini
    - /etc/php/7.4/cli/conf.d/20-xsl.ini
  You can also run `php --ini` inside terminal to see which files are used by PHP in CLI mode.
