Installing extension in php

Atrevido · 09-25-2017, 10:00 PM

I have a Debian server using Nginx and PHP 5.5.14. It is working properly but I need to install the mcrypt extension on it. Do I need to compile PHP 5.5.14 again to install the extension ?! I read some things and that's what I understood. That I can not just append the extension in the existing installation I need to do a new install. I am wrong?!

Hi and welcome to LQ,

You can use your package manager to install the mcrypt extension.

Code:

sudo apt-get install php5-mcrypt
