I'm trying to install magento locally but the same accuses;
PHP extension "mcrypt" must be loaded.
I already installed curl and gd but nothing I do to install mcrypt works, I already tried ...
sudo apt-get install php5-mcrypt
and
sudo apt-get --reinstall install php5-mcrypt
And every time I try:
service apache2 restart
I get message from fail
As this answer in the SOen in Ubuntu when we use sudo apt-get install php5-mcrypt it does not install the extension in the mods-available folder, To solve this it will be necessary to create a symlink , use this command in the terminal:
sudo ln -s /etc/php5/conf.d/mcrypt.ini /etc/php5/mods-available/mcrypt.ini
Then enable the extension using php5enmod and restart Apache:
sudo php5enmod mcrypt
sudo service apache2 reload
