but i am still getting the same error message, is there anything else I need to do now to activate mcrypt?

fosiul01

ok then ravenpl's solution should be accepted

ravenpl

the php-mcrypt is standard, yet if You want mcrypt as well (You don't need it for php) then please install EPEL repository first

rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-3.noarch.rpm
(replace those i386 with x86_64 if You on 64bit OS)

ravenpl

You need to restart the apache php-mcrypt installed.

ASKER

no, if php-mcrypt is all i need then i don't want to install anything else in addition.

i am still getting the error message from my first post, what do i need to do in order to get mcrypt activated?

SWB-Consulting

ASKER

By "You need to restart the apache php-mcrypt installed." do you mean I need to restart apache? I am not sure what you meant by "php-mcrypt installed"

fosiul01

yes you need to restart the apache to get effect of this installation

you can do this by service httpd restart
