Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/modules/module.so'

When I run the command 

php -v

this error comes up

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/modules/module.so' - /usr/lib/php/modules/module.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0 PHP 5.3.3 (cli) (built: Feb 22 2013 02:37:06)

Solution

  • This is cause by mcrypt extension.

    Edit /etc/php.d/mcrypt.ini

    and change 

    ; Enable mcrypt extension module
extension=module.so

    to this

    ; Enable mcrypt extension module
extension=mcrypt.so

    Edit:

    mini

    If the directory /etc/php.d does not exist – it seems You don`t have php installed or file mcrypt.ini is in different location. Try work around.
