Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/modules/module.so'

Question

When I run the command

php -v

this error comes up

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/modules/module.so' - /usr/lib/php/modules/module.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0 PHP 5.3.3 (cli) (built: Feb 22 2013 02:37:06)

Have you checked if the file is actually there? – likeitlikeit May 21 '13 at 20:46 — likeitlikeit, May 21 '13 at 20:46

This is cause by mcrypt extension.

Edit /etc/php.d/mcrypt.ini

and change

; Enable mcrypt extension module
extension=module.so

to this

; Enable mcrypt extension module
extension=mcrypt.so

Edit:

If the directory /etc/php.d does not exist – it seems You don`t have php installed or file mcrypt.ini is in different location. Try work around.

in addition, mcrypt.so is also added into php.ini and you need to comment it out from there and only leave it active in `/etc/php.d/mcrypt.ini` – Twisted1919 Nov 06 '13 at 11:47

The directory `/etc/php.d` does not exist! – mini Oct 09 '14 at 08:22
