Original question here
I am trying to add phpMyAdmin to a droplet I am trying to follow this tutorial the tutorial is written for Ubuntu 16.04 I run 18.04.
I have currently
- Installed LAMP stack
- Added SSH key
- Enabled HTTPS: https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/marketplace/lamp/
- Setup a virtual host: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-apache-virtual-hosts-on-ubuntu-16-04
Besides the above, I have run this in the terminal
- sudo apt-get update
- sudo do-release-upgrade
- apt-get upgrade
- apt-get dist-upgrade
I am now trying to install phpMyAdmin from this tutorial
The problem occurs when I run:
sudo phpenmod mcrypt
It gives me this error: Module mcrypt ini file doesn’t exist under /etc/php/7.2/mods-available
If I run sudo phpenmod mbstringnothing happens.
So I can’t get any further with the tutorial
This person have/had the same problem as me and one guy reply to him and said:
“If you installed it in a different way or have multiple VirtualHosts, then we might need to do a little adjusting to get it running.”
The thing is, this tutorial encouraged me to add VirtualHosts so I did that following this tutorial as I also mentioned above, but now I have no idea on how to proceed and install phpMyAdmin on one of the virtual host’s websites

Hey friend!
I may be able to help on this. Instead of phpenmod mcrypt can you try this tutorial instead?
https://websiteforstudents.com/install-php-7-2-mcrypt-module-on-ubuntu-18-04-lts/
I’ve not tested it, but mcrypt isn’t in the repositories as a PHP module, so this looks like the easiest path.
