I just followed the tutorial located at https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-linux-apache-mysql-php-lamp-stack-on-ubuntu while fixing multiple other errors that I came across along the way and I'm stuck with one last error. When I log in to phpMyAdmin, there's a huge red error at the bottom saying "The mcrypt extension is missing. Please check your PHP configuration.". I installed everything listed in the tutorial on Ubuntu 13.10 via putty.

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".
The mcrypt extension is an interface to the mcrypt cryptography library. This extension is useful for allowing PHP code using mcrypt to run on PHP 7.2+. The mcrypt extension is included in PHP 5.4 through PHP 7.1.
Try this:
sudo apt-get install php5-mcrypt sudo ln -s /etc/php5/conf.d/mcrypt.ini /etc/php5/mods-available sudo php5enmod mcrypt sudo service apache2 restart If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
