mcrypt install on CentOS 7

[RyanSett]

Hello,

We are using Plesk Parallels 12.0.18 and CentOS 7 r3.10.0

I've tried to find anything I could on the shell commands to run to install this.

We have an application that requires Mcrypt library to be installed. Whats the newer command for CentOS 7 and Plesk?

cd /tmp/ && wget wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-2.noarch.rpm
sudo rpm -Uvh epel-release-7*.rpm

sudo yum install php-mcrypt*

Restart Apache and php5-fpm and NGINX, if it is installed as well. Smile and get yourself another coffee. ^^


hint: Use a site like "http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php" to search for rpms.

yum install http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-2.noarch.rpm && yum install php-mcrypt* && systemctl restart httpd.service

This should be all that is needed if using apache as backend.

What if my CentOS with Plesk Panel 12 dont give me access to root account? How to install mcrypt package?

You can check Plesk 12.1.18 preview version. Multiple PHP versions are bundled with Plesk. All popular extensions (including mcrypt) will be available out of the box.

I was expecting this, seeing that the installer fetched php52.inf to php56.inf
Very delighted to see this, thanks Parallels!
