I have been trying to install php-mcrypt for a while now. Everytime I get the "No package php-mcrypt available." returned to me. Here's what I've tried:
root@ip-********** [~]# yum install php-mcrypt --enablerepo=centosplus (<- both with and without this)

No package php-mcrypt available.
Error: Nothing to do
I have made sure to install the EPEL repository. At this point I'm just stumped. I've followed EVERY tutorial I've found online and get the same error.
Notes: GoDaddy VPS, CentOS 6.4 64-bit, mcrypt installed without a hitch, but no php-mcrypt.

You can install Mcrypt from the PHP Source Tree as a module if you choose. Enable the module by adding: 'extension=mcrypt.so' to PHP. ini. Done!
You can also achieve this same screen by viewing a php file that has: phpinfo(); somewhere in the code. In this screen, simply search for the string "mcrypt support". If installed, you will see a box that says "enabled".
What is mcrypt? The mcrypt extension is a replacement for the UNIX crypt command. These commands serve as a means to encrypt files on UNIX and Linux systems. The php-mcrypt extension serves as an interface between PHP and mcrypt.
I had the same issue, and found the previous suggestions gave me enough info to get it working on my server. The following is what I did:
1) Install EPEL repository (From: http://www.rackspace.com/knowledge_center/article/installing-rhel-epel-repo-on-centos-5x-or-6x):
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:
yum update
yum install php-mcrypt*
The yum update updated the repository reference on my server then the 2nd command got what I needed :)
3) Restart your webserver. For my apache install I did:
service httpd restart
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.
