[SOLVED] Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib64/php_mcrypt.so'

Hello

I get following error :

Quote:

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

A "locate mcrypt" shows the following :

Quote:

/etc/php.d/mcrypt.ini
/usr/bin/libmcrypt-config
/usr/bin/mcrypt
/usr/include/mcrypt.h
/usr/include/mutils/mcrypt.h
/usr/lib64/libmcrypt.so
/usr/lib64/libmcrypt.so.4
/usr/lib64/libmcrypt.so.4.4.8
/usr/lib64/php/modules/mcrypt.so

Seems php is looking in the wrong directory. How can I fix this ? With a symlink ?

Thanks.

Hi,

You don't give much info about distro, or how you've installed the php-mcrypt extension
Anyways I guess you need to edit /etc/php.d/mcrypt.ini (or php.ini) and use the correct path to mcrypt.so:

Code:

extension = /usr/lib64/php/modules/mcrypt.so

Regards

Hello

thank you for your reply.

I am on CentOS 6 and installed php-mcrypt via yum.

I solved my problem by editing /etc/php.ini and commenting out the line "extension=/usr/lib64/php_mcrypt.so"

I now have :

Code:

;extension=/usr/lib64/php_mcrypt.so

and I no longer have the problem.
