I'm trying to install all the package's of a Laravel project on a Virtual Machine. I've installed everything but during the composer install action show me the error MCrypt PHP Exstension Required.

But.. Mcrypt is installed! I've also do this actions:

locate mcrypt.ini 
locate mcrypt.so

and writed in mcrypt.ini the mcrypt.so php5 path. so what contain now the mcrypt.ini file? just this text:

exstension=/usr/lib/20131226/mcrypt.so

also used: php5enmod mcrypt and service apache2 restart without any results..

  • If you create a script with <?php phpinfo(); ?> in it, does it actually report mcrypt as being installed? Commented Dec 4, 2015 at 17:52
  • also check if your apache is using the same PHP version as your CLI Commented Dec 4, 2015 at 17:53
  • And restart php5-fpm just in case. Commented Dec 4, 2015 at 18:15
  • php5-fpm restarted, nothing change and also the php version is just one on this machine... Commented Dec 5, 2015 at 10:18
  • On Ubuntu apache and the cli have separate configurations. php -i can show different results to <?php phpinfo(); Commented Dec 5, 2015 at 11:51

Do you have enabled your mcrypt extension?

Try with this command, it will tell you all the php extensions you have installed and wich one of them is active and wich one is not

dpkg --get-selections | grep php

If mcrypt is not enabled then try again to enable it with

sudo php5enmod mcrypt
