PHP mcrypt and REMI

Am running PHP56 from REMI and need to use mcrypt for an old script to work - I am running REMI PHP56:

Configuration File (php.ini) Path   /opt/remi/php56/root/etc
Loaded Configuration File   /opt/remi/php56/root/etc/php.ini

and I have installed mcrypt:

Package php-mcrypt-5.6.30-1.el6.remi.x86_64 already installed and latest version

However, there is no ini file for mcrypt and it is not listed as a PHP module:

php56 -m
[PHP Modules]
mhash
mysql
mysqli
mysqlnd
openssl

What am I missing? What else do I need to do to enable mcrypt?

Solution

  • You have 2 PHP stacks installed.

    • php-* (default version, in /usr)
    • php56-php-* (parallel installable version, in /opt)

    According to phpinfo information, the second is used, so you need php56-php-mcrypt.

    For installation instruction, see the Wizard.
