mcrypt extension

[vickibellamy]

Hi there,

I am trying to install Magento opensource shopping cart, without success as error message displays:

PHP Extension "mcrypt" must be loaded

Please can someone help me or at least point in the right direction as to how to enable this extension.

Thank you

If you are on rhel, centos, or fedora, php-mcrypt is available from the atomic repo. You can install it with:

1) set up the repo
wget -q -O - http://www.atomicorp.com/installers/atomic |sh

2) install php-mcrypt
yum install php-mcrypt

Thank you for this yet I am a novice at this, any chance for an explanation in simpler terms.

I currently access the control panel via web log in.

Do I need to log in to Virtuozzo and go to file manager.

Any further help will be greatly appreciated, as Im very keen to learn and get magento up and running.

Thanks

Step 0) would be to ssh into the box as root, and then run Steps 1 and 2

I have logged into the ssh connection successfully yet not sure how I go about installation? do I copy the text from http://www.atomicorp.com/installers/atomic into the terminal window then press enter? thank you for your patience, I am determined to install this yet don't want to mess anything up in the process : )

You paste those commands exactly as they are written:

wget -q -O - http://www.atomicorp.com/installers/atomic |sh

yum install php-mcrypt

Hi. I have installed Atomicorp but I don't have YUM installed on my VPS is there any way I can install the mcrypt extension without YUM?

Thanks in advance

 

[atomicturtle]

The atomic installer should fix that for you if yum was removed from the system.

thanks again

You'll probably have to ask whoever removed yum on the box to fix it. They've done something there that even the atomic installer can't fix!

Probably is VPS and usually some hoster skip to install yum.

Dear Atomicturtle,

I tried your method: I ssh'ed using putty as root Then pasted the commands.

the second command ends with : Installed:
php-common.i386 0:5.3.10-5.el5.art php-mcrypt.i386 0:5.3.10-5.el5.art

Replaced:
php53-common.i386 0:5.3.3-1.el5_6.1

Complete!

and then i tried to install magento but still it said :" PHP Extension "mcrypt" must be loaded"

Could you please help me out?

Did this work?

NO, it looks like your yum didnt check Atomic.

Check /etc/yum.repos.d/atomic.repo and make sure that enabled = 1 is set.

It should look something like this

# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/atomic.repo

# Name: Atomic Rocket Turtle RPM Repository for CentOS / Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 -

protect = 0
gpgkey = file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY.art.txt
