php - Laravel isn't recognising mcrypt module -

i've installed laravel on fresh install of xubuntu 14.04. mcrypt installed , functioning far can tell, laravel still reports cannot find it.

testing mcrypt

i have right packages installed , module appears have been enabled, determined doing basic diagnostic checks.

mcrypt in list of installed php modules when run:

php -m

i "loaded" terminal when run:

php -r 'echo php_eol . (extension_loaded("mcrypt") ? "loaded" : "not loaded") . php_eol . php_eol;'

this output of php -i | grep mcrypt:

/etc/php5/cli/conf.d/20-mcrypt.ini, registered stream filters => zlib.*, bzip2.*, convert.iconv.*, string.rot13, string.toupper, string.tolower, string.strip_tags, convert.*, consumed, dechunk, mcrypt.*, mdecrypt.* mcrypt mcrypt back upwards => enabled mcrypt_filter back upwards => enabled mcrypt.algorithms_dir => no value => no value mcrypt.modes_dir => no value => no value pwd => /var/www/html/mcrypttest _server["pwd"] => /var/www/html/mcrypttest installing laravel

i used fresh installation of laravel test on, running:

git clone https://github.com/laravel/laravel mcrypttest cd mcrypttest/ composer install

can suggest how diagnose why laravel cannto access mcrypt?

answer found here: http://stackoverflow.com/a/26168868/3060414

fixing browser error (if having mcrypt error in browser when accessing local laravel index page)

sudo nano /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

add next line under dynamically compiled extensions section of php ini

extension=mcrypt.so

restart apache server , purge laravel cache , working

php laravel mcrypt
