ext-mcrypt error while installing laravel on ubuntu 14.04
This is how I solved on Mac Yosemite. I have one php.ini in /etc/, and I have mcrypt instaIled. But I faced the same problem.
Run this to find another php.ini.
php -i|grep iniIt returned the followings.
System => Darwin Myname-MacBook-Pro.local 14.1.0 Darwin Kernel Version 14.1.0: Mon Dec 22 23:10:38 PST 2014; root:xnu-2782.10.72~2/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64Configuration File (php.ini) Path => /usr/local/etc/php/5.5Loaded Configuration File => /usr/local/etc/php/5.5/php.ini....I open /usr/local/etc/php/5.5/php.ini and added extension=mcrypt.so to the file.
I hope this will help someone in future.
