php5.3 安装mcrypt

For me the answer was:

1) Get the Repos from

wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
wget http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-6.rpm
sudo rpm -Uvh remi-release-6*.rpm epel-release-6*.rpm

2) Install it via:

sudo yum update
sudo yum install php-mcrypt*

3) Edit the mcrypt.ini

sudo nano /etc/php.d/mcrypt.ini

add this

extension=/usr/lib64/php/modules/mcrypt.so

Finally 4) Restart your webserver:

sudo service httpd restart

I run this steps in CentOS 6.3 (64) on Azure From Microsoft Linux image

Hope it helps you.

Best Regards.
