Trying to install mcrypt extension

[Ruriko]

I'm trying to install mcrypt extension so i typed: yum install php-mcrypt but it says No package php-mcrypt available.
How can I fix this? I am using centos 5.6

 

[onel0ve]

yum -y --enablerepo=webtatic install php-mbstring php-mcrypt
or
yum -y install php-mbstring php-mcrypt

I tried both commands and both say: No package php-mbstring available.
No package php-mcrypt available.

Search for the exact mcrypt package:

yum search mcrypt

You can then install the appropriate package as per your servers arch.

Download the following two packages from EPEL repo.

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/libmcrypt-2.5.7-5.el5.i386.rpm
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/php-mcrypt-5.1.6-5.el5.i386.rpm

Then install them-

rpm -ivh libmcrypt-2.5.7-5.el5.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh php-mcrypt-5.1.6-5.el5.i386.rpm

If you have cpanel, you can do this via Easy Apache.
