Installing mcrypt on Linux Centos 5.5 PHP 5.3.3 x86_64

[DanielL84]

Hi

I know this problem has been answered before, but I cannot figure this out, so somewhere either I am doing something wrong or the prior solutions aren't quite right for my scenario.

I am trying to install Magento on my apache server. I am running into the dreaded mcrypt issue as Magento needs it to run. I have now been googling for the past few hours and have gotten nowhere.

Here are my details:

Linux
Centos 5.5
PHP 5.3.3
x86_64
Plesk 12

I have tried installing all sorts of different repos and it just isn't working.

When I try to install using # yum install php-mcrypt I get the following:

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
package-cleanup --dupes
rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

I have also tried with php53-mcrypt and I am still getting missing dependencies. Can anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong and the steps I need to take to resolve this?

 

[Nikolay.]

You either need to install php53-mcrypt instead or first switch from php53 to php packages, then install php-mcrypt.

Also consider migrating from CentOS 5 to a more recent OS in the future.

 

[DanielL84]

Thanks for responding Nikolay.

I thought I had tried to install php53-mcrypt. I used the commands:

#yum install php53-mcrypt (this didn't work - dependency issues)
#yum install php-mcrypt (this didn't work - dependency issues)
#yum install php53u-mcrypt (this didn't work - not installed)

I have the following repositories installed:

atomic
epel
remi

Do I need all of these installed? Is this what's causing the problem or have installed some with the wrong architecture? Should I un-install these?

 

[DanielL84]

I did it! I'm not 100% sure how, but it's worked.

I started by removing the other repositories apart from epel. Then I think I ran:

#yum install php53-mcrypt

I don't quite remember if there was another step in the process, so my apologies if you were searching and found this looking for answers.

I'm in the same boat here:

Plesk 12.0.18
CentOS 5.7
PHP 5.3.3
64 Bit

Below is the output below after running yum install php-mcrypt
