Problems installing mcrypt support for php54 using Homebrew on Mountain Lion

I am trying to install mcrypt support in php 5.4.11 on Mountain Lion using Homebrew and I am having problems that I cannot solve.

I already manually installed PHP 5.4.11 on my Mac. mcrypt was previously installed using Homebrew.

When I load phpMyAdmin, it will tell me that mcrypt is not enabled.

So, when searching on google, I realized that somehow mcrypt is not loading, because there was no link to it when I uploaded my phpinfo file.

@DavidYell in answer to another question, Installing the mcrypt extension for PHP on OSX Mountain Lion suggested the following fix

brew install mcrypt php53-mcrypt

The following is the result of my command:

After restarting apache with sudo apachectl restart I rebooted phpinfo and still not got mcrypt.

Since php54-mcrypt was installed on the php home installation, I went and uninstalled it using brew uninstall php54-mcrypt and then reinstalled it using brew install php54-mcrypt --without-homebrew-php .

Restarted apache and loaded phpinfo, and still no mcrypt.

How to fix this problem. I would be happy if I only had built-in php, crypt and phpmyadmin, but I can not solve this problem with my current setting based on the advice found at http://mac.tutsplus.com/tutorials/server/ upgrading-the-native-php-installation-on-os-x-mountain-lion / .

Thanks.

Well, after much trial and error, I solved the problem.

I first had to remove php54-mcrypt again in order to remove the --without-homebrew-php flag and reinstall it with support for the php version installed by the homebrew.

 $ brew uninstall php54-mcrypt Uninstalling /usr/local/Cellar/php54-mcrypt/5.4.11... $ brew install php54-mcrypt ... ==> Summary 🍺 /usr/local/Cellar/php54-mcrypt/5.4.11: 3 files, 56K, built in 33 seconds

Then I edited the httpd.conf file and changed the php location. I just commented on the PHP system and added a new line to the PHP LoadModule directives installed through Homebrew.

 #LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so LoadModule php5_module /usr/local/Cellar/php54/5.4.11/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so

Then I installed phpmyadmin via Homebrew using

brew install phpmyadmin

Then I added the following to the end of httpd.conf

 Alias /phpmyadmin /usr/local/share/phpmyadmin <Directory /usr/local/share/phpmyadmin/> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride All Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory>

I made any changes that I need to make to the homebrew installed by php.ini located in /usr/local/etc/php/5.4/php.ini and changed the configuration file for phpmyadmin located in /usr/local/share/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php .

Then I restarted apache using sudo apachectl restart

Things are good!
