I've been trying to install phpmyadmin in Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS having a lamp installed, php 7.2, mysql Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.2.12-MariaDB, for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 5.2 and apache2.
and I am following this article from digitalOcean, but when I came to the part that I need to run sudo phpenmod mcrypt I got a message saying..
WARNING: Module mcrypt ini file doesn't exist under /etc/php/7.2/mods-available
I am doing this on ubuntu installed in godaddy
Can you give best solution for this?
Pointing to php7.1-mcrypt with php7.2 will solve the issue here. Below are the steps to configure 7.1 version mcrypt with php7.2
Install php7.1-mcrypt
sudo apt install php7.1-mcrypt
Create symbolic link to php7.1-mcrypt
sudo ln -s /etc/php/7.1/mods-available/mcrypt.ini /etc/php/7.2/mods-available/
Enable mcrypt extension
sudo phpenmod mcrypt
Restart the FastCGI Process Manager service
sudo service php7.2-fpm restart
Note:
The above solution is a workaround to enable mcrypt in php7.2 through apt tillphp7.2-mcryptis not available.
