The mcrypt extension is missing. Check your PHP configuration

I just completed the tutorial located at https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-linux-apache-mysql-php-lamp-stack-on-ubuntu , correcting several other errors with which I came across this way and I was stuck with one last mistake. When I enter phpMyAdmin, a huge red error appears at the bottom of the screen saying: "The mcrypt extension is missing. Check your PHP configuration." I installed everything listed in the Ubuntu 13.10 tutorial via putty.

Try the following:

sudo apt-get install php5-mcrypt sudo ln -s /etc/php5/conf.d/mcrypt.ini /etc/php5/mods-available sudo php5enmod mcrypt sudo service apache2 restart

I followed the exact guidance with OP on the digital ocean. The only steps that are missing are

 sudo php5enmod mcrypt sudo service apache2 restart

and error after restarting apache service

Adding this answer to anyone who is facing this issue with Linux Mint 17 .

Just installed the LAMP stack and got this error. The mycrpt.ini file has already installed the / etc / php 5 / mods-available directory. All that had to be done was to run the command to enable the module:

 sudo php5enmod mcrypt

Restart apache after that, and you will be well off.

I just stuffed a symlink to the Apache part in the php configuration. Platform: Xubuntu 14.04 LTS.

More details:

  • cd / etc / php5 / apache2 / conf.d
  • sudo ln -s ../../ mods-available / mcrypt.ini 20-mcrypt.ini
  • ls -l to see if there is a new link
  • sudo apache2ctl restart

NTN.

For those using the LEMP stack (nginx and php5-fpm), this solution

 apt-get install php5-mcrypt php5enmod mcrypt service php5-fpm restart service nginx restart

(of course, run each with sudo)

I am on Mac OS X Yosemite using Terminal and fixing this error

the requested mcrypt php extension is missing on your system

by executing the following commands:

 brew update brew upgrade brew tap homebrew/dupes brew tap josegonzalez/homebrew-php brew install php54-mcrypt
