Enabling mcrypt, soap and pdo_mysql

Question

I am having some issues with enabling the modules mentioned in the title on my CentOS machine.

yum install php-mcrypt / php-soap / php-mysql worked fine and mentioned that they had been installed, after restarting Apache it appears that they aren't enabled.

I cannot locate the mcrypt.so for example, and running php --ini gives:

PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library './mcrypt.so' - ./mcrypt.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

This is after I put extension=mcrypt.so in the php.ini.

Answer 1

Resolved by changing extension_dir = "" to extension_dir = "/usr/lib64/php/modules"

Answer 2

On ubuntu 8 (hardy), the mcrypt library seems to be here.

   /usr/lib/php5/20060613/mcrypt.so

in php.ini

change this text :

 ;extension=php_mcrypt.dll

to

extension=php_mcrypt.dll

Answer 3

in php.ini you just have to remove semi column before mcypt.dll. Look for mcypt.dll and remove semi column before that

change this text : ;extension=php_mcrypt.dll to extension=php_mcrypt.dll (ie. remove ; )
