Fatal error: Call to undefined function mcrypt_encrypt()
If you have recently updated to ubuntu 14.04 here is the fix to this problem:
$ sudo mv /etc/php5/conf.d/mcrypt.ini /etc/php5/mods-available/
$ sudo php5enmod mcrypt
$ sudo service apache2 restart
What had worked for me with PHP version 5.2.8, was to open up php.ini
and allow the php_mcrypt.dll
extension by removing the ;
, i.e. changing:
;extension=php_mcrypt.dll
to extension=php_mcrypt.dll
For windows
;extension=php_mcrypt.dll to extension=php_mcrypt.dll
then restart your apache server
For Redhat
sudo yum install php55-mcrypt //if php5.5
sudo yum install php-mcrypt //if less than 5.4
sudo service httpd restart //if apache 2.4
sudo /etc/init.d/httpd restart //if apache 2.2 or less
For Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install php5-mcrypt
sudo service apache2 restart //if server not reloaded automatically
Still not working?
sudo php5enmod mcrypt && sudo service apache2 restart
