[PhP] Unable to load php_mcrypt.so

jonaskellens · 05-21-2013, 06:59 AM

Hello,

when executing php -v, I get the error message :

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib64/php/modules/php_mcrypt.so' - /usr/lib64/php/modules/php_mcrypt.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

Code:

[root@server logging]# php -v
PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib64/php/modules/php_mcrypt.so' - /usr/lib64/php/modules/php_mcrypt.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

I checked /etc/php.ini and I found :

extension=php_mcrypt.so

Because libmcrypt.so is situated in /usr/lib64, I changed this line to :

extension=/usr/lib64/php_mcrypt.so

But I am still getting the error message :

Code:

[root@server logging]# php -v

Can you leave /etc/php.ini as:

Code:

extension=php_mcrypt.so

Can you create a symlink from to the file or make a copy of it from /usr/lib64/php_mcrypt.so to /usr/lib64/php/modules/php_mcrypt.so.

Then restart httpd and see how it goes?

If in doubt you could always go hunting for php53-mcrypt rpm. Or compile it in.

Also you might want to compare permissons and ownership of the file: /usr/lib64/php_mcrypt.so to your other PHP modules.
