Newbie: need to install Mcrypt

[watergate74]

Hello,

I'm a newbie and I need to install the mcrypt module. I found the following answer in the internet:

---

You can install Mcrypt from the PHP Source Tree as a module if you choose.

You first need to ensure you have libmcrypt, libmcrypt-devel, and mcrypt installed, then do:

# cd php-5.x.x/ext/mcrypt
# phpize
# aclocal
# ./configure
# make && make install

Enable the module by adding: 'extension=mcrypt.so' to PHP.ini.

Done!

Very handy if you need to install a single module and you may have installed PHP via RPM, but don't wish to recompile your whole PHP install

Does anybody know how I do this install in plesk 9.2? A tutorial or a step by step description would be nice.

If you are on CentOS or Fedora, just hit

yum install mcrypt

I have a new Godaddy Virtual Server running Centos and Plesk Dashboard. I am trying to setup Magento which give me a few error when installing Magento. I fixed the php time exceution error, changed PHP from 60 to 18000. (2) error is mcrypt ext error.
I did the following:
wget -q -O - http://www.atomicorp.com/installers/atomic |sh

# yum install php-mcrypt

then tried installing Magento again...

Received the following:

The 'mcrypt' extension was not found.

Can someone help this newbie?
