To make sure that mcrypt doesn't fail to load when

using Windows XP , Apache 2 and php 5, even if all the required procedure to install it has been accomplished already, copy libmcrypt.dll, which is normally in the php main directory, into the php\ext directory.

Also on Ubuntu, make sure you actually have php5-mcrypt installed. You can install it with:



sudo apt-get install php5-mcrypt



If you get any errors, you may need to enable the 'universe' repository, explained here:

For Ubuntu Linux add a line:

extension=php_mcrypt.so

to the file /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

and restart network:

sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

(Relating to XAMPP Lite and MySQL)



PROBLEM (seen on MySQL admin page): cannot load mcrypt extension. please check your php configuration



SOLUTION:  With XAMPP Lite 1.7.1 all I had to do was stop the server, edit D:\xampplite\php\php.ini and uncomment (remove the semicolon) the following line:



extension=php_mcrypt.dll



Elsewhere in the file is a line setting the path to the extension directory (i.e. where php_mycrypt.dll is located) -- search for extension_dir.  It should look something like:



extension_dir = "\xampplite\php\ext\"



Obviously, adjust accordingly for your own drive and directory structure.

PROBLEM: cannot load mcrypt extension. please check your php configuration



this setting my experience for xampp :D

I do the same step but with a little modified



for the first, stop all xampp services, and then do this step :



copy file libmcrypt.dll from D:\xampplite\php\ 

to : C:\WINDOWS\system32



open these 2files below :

D:\xampplite\apache\bin\php.ini

D:\xampplite\php\php.ini



change this text :

;extension=php_mcrypt.dll

to

extension=php_mcrypt.dll

(ie. remove ; )



Note :

Please adjust the directory location per your own installation.

PROBLEM: cannot load mcrypt extension. please check your php configuration



I have done as suggested by the contributor before me and copied libmcrypt.dll from F:\wamp\bin\php\PHP52~1.8

to C:\WINDOWS\system32 . This did not work on it's own. I found other advice as follows and now mcrypt is working.



OTHER ADVICE:



Go to F:\wamp\bin\php\PHP52~1.8\php.ini

change ;extension=php_mcrypt.dll

to      extension=php_mcrypt.dll 

(ie. remove ; )



now go to the following 2 files and do the same:

F:\wamp\bin\php\PHP52~1.8\phpForApache.ini 

F:\wamp\bin\apache\APACHE~1.11\bin\php.ini



Please adjust the directory location per your own installation.

On Windows installations, for the dynamic extension (extension=php_mcrypt.dll) to load properly, you must copy libmcrypt.dll from your PHP root folder (e.g. C:\PHP) to the following location:



C:\WINDOWS\system32



With this done, the dynamic extension will load up just fine.
