Problem installing mcrypt

johniem · 07-03-2012, 08:27 AM

I'm trying to install mcrypt inmy server with no luck so far.

Code:

# php -v
PHP 5.2.17 (cli) (built: Jan  7 2011 10:39:29)
Copyright (c) 1997-2010 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2010 Zend Technologies
    with the ionCube PHP Loader v3.3.20, Copyright (c) 2002-2010, by ionCube Ltd.

# cat /etc/issue
CentOS release 5.7 (Final)
Kernel \r on an \m

I have removed all repos from /etc/yum.repos.d/ except atomic. I have tried to install mcrypt from epel repo too but although the installation was successful the extension didn't work.

here is the output when i'm trying to install from atomic

Code:

# yum install php-mcrypt.x86_64

Error Summary
-------------

the same error generates with yum install php-mcrypt too. Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Ok so here is what you need to do....

Upgrade PHP, MySQL and then install php-mcrypt.

Issue here is that it's trying ot upgrade php-common and mysql libs to match the dependencies, the transaction check sees you are on php 5.2/mysql 5.0.77 and that the upgrade will break these packages. Run the following in sequence as the root user:

Code:

yum upgrade php mysql #go through entire install to get to PHP 5.3 and MySQL 5.1 USE THE ATOMIC REPO!
mysql_upgrade -uroot -p #Upgrade your mysql tables to the current version
mysqlcheck -Aro -uroot -p #Repair/optimize tables to remove any overhead or anything left behind from the upgrade
yum install php-mcrypt #Finally, you can install mcrypt.

I don't have any problem upgrading php and MySQL but there are 10 sites live on that server and plesk 9.5 too. I don't know if the upgrades would have any impact to all of these.

Kustom42 · 07-03-2012, 02:30 PM

Nope, I already knew you were on Plesk from your outputs and I have done literally thousands of these. When a customer would pay me to upgrade PHP or install mcrypt it always had to have a mysql upgrade as well if you are going from 5.2 to 5.3.

If you really want to be on the safe side you could do a plesk backup. I always made a backup as its good admin practice but in all the upgrades/installs I did I never had to roll one back.

If you copy and paste the commands as given and make sure to use the Atomic Repo(this is the repo you should always use with Plesk packages) then you will see no impact. I would categorize the potential risk and impact of the commands given as very low.
