php-mcrypt-5.3.3-1 has invalid mcrypt.ini

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library
'/usr/lib64/php/modules/module.so' - /usr/lib64/php/modules/module.so:

/etc/php.d/mcrypt.ini:

extension=module.so

If Dag can fix why it wont build on his system - it might work

http://pkgs.repoforge.org/php-mcrypt/_buildlogs/

At the moment it fails building because it can not find the php source.

Im at-least glad someone figured this out to get it resolved. This crashed a SolusVM panel.. I see cries all over the place in the next week. I would submit a pull but I am not familiar with spec files.

/etc/php.d/mcrypt.ini:
; Enable mcrypt extension module
extension=mcrypt.so

That's a nice workaround, but I would prefer an updated rpm for everyone's sake. Is there an updated status on that?

[dimo414]

I similarly worked around this issue by manually editing /etc/php.d/mcrypt.ini to look for the correct file, but this is a frustrating issue to run into as I first start using RepoForge. Hope it's resolved soon.

https://github.com/repoforge/rpms/blob/master/specs/php-mcrypt/php-mcrypt.spec looks right, but the version that is on rpmforge is broken

The workaround in #254 (comment) works

[technojoe]

The spec file is fine. It's the mcrypt.ini file that's broken.

[davinken]

A workaround would be just to symlink the existing module
[root@websrv /usr/lib64/php/modules]$ ls -l mod*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 May 24 12:37 module.so -> mcrypt.so

Doing this the PHP warning due to missing module.so disappears, while it still will load the correct module; and when the .ini file is fixed this symlink will just be ignored.

[technojoe]

You shouldn't need to symlink anything! It will take 10 seconds to edit the .ini file, 2 minutes to rebuild the rpm, and 5 minutes to push that rpm out to the repositories. This is a SEVERE bug (as in, completely breaks functionality) that has a very trivial fix. (I've personally worked around it, but that's besides the point. It's broken out of the box.) The fact that it has continued for two months speaks volumes.

[Aldie]

Any update on this? It's still broken.

[janlugt]

Still broken, would be nice if this could be fixed. It worked immediately after a change from module.so to mcrypt.so in mcrypt.ini and an apache restart.

[aphofstede]

Still broken.
