I just finished installing Ubuntu, setting up Apache, MySQL, and PHP. I then decided to install the Laravel framework. I ran a composer install
and got the following error:
Mcrypt PHP extension required. Script php artisan clear-compiled handling the post-install-cmd event returned with an error
I then installed mcrypt deal and all that remained was the artisan error. I decided to go on about my business because I couldn't find a solution online.
Now I am starting my first laravel project. I ran php artisan migrate:install
and it says Mcrypt PHP extension required.
What can I do to fix this?
I ran this command and it didn't help:
sudo ln -s /etc/php5/conf.d/mcrypt.ini /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/20-mcrypt.ini
I've ran this a couple of times and it just says its installed:
sudo apt-get install php5-mcrypt
