Magento not seeing mcrypt in LAMP

There seems to be an issue with the mcrypt package in that it isn't included in the available mods after being installed.

To fix, simply:

sudo ln -s /etc/php5/conf.d/mcrypt.ini /etc/php5/mods-available/mcrypt.ini
sudo php5enmod mcrypt
sudo restart apache2

If the last command doesn't work, do sudo service apache2 restart instead.

The solutions is install php5-mcrypt module in and enable it. Use the below command sequence.

sudo apt-get install php5-mcrypt
sudo php5enmod php5-mcrypt
sudo service apache2 restart

Follow the below url to install magento2 (M2) on ubuntu server.
