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.
