Hi , I would wish to install laravel on a ubuntu 14.04 droplet that i have created. For some reason , I keep getting this message "MCrypt PHP extension is required " although i believe i have it already installed. Just to verify I have executed the following commands
- sudo apt-get install php5-mcrypt (I get the message - php5-mcrypt is already the newest version.)
- Just o be very sure I have restarted apache as well… sudo service apache2 restart
Is there something that I am missing? Any pointers would definitely help.
thanks

I also tried following this article on a new droplet word by word and I am still getting the same error on the new droplet. this was the link i was following. <br>https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-laravel-with-nginx-on-an-ubuntu-12-04-lts-vps
This does not work for me. Using Ubuntu 14.04 droplet and nginx. <br> <br>Specifically, the following command: <br> <br>sudo php5enmod mcrypt <br> <br>results in this: <br>WARNING: Module mcrypt ini file doesn’t exist under /etc/php5/mods-available <br>WARNING: Module mcrypt ini file doesn’t exist under /etc/php5/mods-available
@eric7urner: Have you installed the php5-mcrypt package already? <br> <br><pre> <br>sudo apt-get install php5-mcrypt <br></pre>
