    You can using EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) to install that.

    # install EPEL with yum
yum -y install epel-release
# install php-mcrypt
yum -y install php-mcrypt

Are you trying to install the REPL repository on your droplet? If so, try running the following commands:

wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/beta/7/x86_64/epel-release-7-1.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh epel-release-7-1.noarch.rpm
yum install --enablerepo="epel" php-mcrypt

Does that work?

Find and edit php.ini. On ubuntu its in /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

Add this in php.ini

extension=mcrypt.so

Restart apache

I managed to get it installed and working using the following commands…

sudo yum install epel-release
sudo yum install libmcrypt-devel

If you are running the default PHP installation you will want to run the following command as well…

sudo yum install php-mcrypt

You could try using –skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va –nofiles –nodigest**

am thinking of writing off my whole project because of that, any help will be appreciated

This might help, It works on me on my centos 7 x64
To install mcrypt just enter this command:
sudo yum install php-mcrypt.x86_64

To search for packages just do this command:
yum search php-

If you find the package that you’ve been looking for, and want to install it just do this command:
sudo yum install <package name>

Mcrypt has been moved for PHP72.

Hello, all

First you’ll need to add the EPEL and REMi repository:

sudo yum -y install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm

sudo yum -y install https://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm

Then you go ahead and install the MCrypt extension:

sudo yum install php-mcrypt

If you haven’t installed PHP yet run this first:

sudo yum update

sudo yum install php php-cli

If you want to install the basic PHP extensions run this:

sudo yum install php php-cli php-fpm php-mysqlnd php-zip php-devel php-gd php-mcrypt php-mbstring php-curl php-xml php-pear php-bcmath php-json

The current PHP version should be 7.4. You can check the current verson using php -v

The expected output will be

$ php -v
PHP 7.4.0 (cli) (built: Nov 26 2019 20:13:36) ( NTS )
Copyright (c) The PHP Group
Zend Engine v3.4.0, Copyright (c) Zend Technologies

To view enabled modules, run:

php --modules or the short version php -m

Hope that this helps!

Alex

    I tried this on my install and i get an error about php-mcrypt:

    Package php-mcrypt-5.4.16-9.el7.x8664 is obsoleted by php-pecl-mcrypt-1.0.3-1.el7.remi.7.4.x8664 which is already installed

    php -v returns an error:

    php -v

    PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library ‘mcrypt’ (tried: /usr/lib64/php/modules/mcrypt (/usr/lib64/php/modules/mcrypt: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory), /usr/lib64/php/modules/mcrypt.so (libmcrypt.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)) in Unknown on line 0

    anyone have any ideas on what to do to resolve this?

    cheers

      Hi,

      Would you mind running this command for me and sharing the output here:

      yum list installed | grep -i mcrypt

      As for the message itself, it’s self explanatory the .so file is missing. If you use sudo php -v the warning should not be displayed but it still needs to be sorted.

      You can open your php.ini file and define the .so extension:

      extension=mcrypt.so

      Hope that this helps!
      Regards,
      Alex
