I think I know where you’re running into trouble. When using nginx with php-fpm it’s not the nginx process you need to restart when enabling a module, it’s the fpm service so you’ll need to run:

sudo service php-fpm restart

@ryanpq thanks for the info. we already fixed, we have some problem in our databases because our setup is separate server for app and dbs. because I already did that and restart nginx also but doesn’t work apparently we tested the inspect network then it shows the DBs side. thanks anyway

@ryanjeff

Just a side note, as of and especially with PHP 7, you should consider dropping any reliance on mcrypt and instead use something such as libsodium in its place, or at the very least openssl (if you prefer not to add another dependency to your configuration).
