php error: The Encrypt library requires the Mcrypt

问题:

I have a login and sign up form and use the encrypt library to encrypt the password.. I am using Xampp for my server and my system works correctly..

code to encrypt the password:

$this->encrypt->encode('my password'); 

add encrypt library

 $autoload['libraries'] = array('encrypt');

and setting the secret key in config:

$config['encryption_key'] = 'nmsc encrypt secret key';

My code works well using xampp server in windows but when Im trying to upload my website to ubuntu server I've got an error says

The Encrypt library requires the Mcrypt extension

how to fix that problem? refering this guide https://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/libraries/encryption.html but I dont know how to install that mcrypt. my website needs to run from ubuntu server. how to install or fix that problem?

回答1:

You should install the PHP mcrypt module;

sudo apt-get install php5-mcrypt
sudo php5enmod mcrypt

And normally you will be good ;)

回答2:

Sounds like you need to update your php version.

回答3:

Open your: /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
Example: sudo gedit /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
At line 1728, put this code:

extension=mcrypt.so

Then restart your Apache.

Just Go to php version in cpanel

and change version to 5.x

回答5:

Best solution is:

change

 $this->load->library('encrypt');

to

 $this->load->library('encryption');
