@afoysal https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-mcrypt-php-module-on-ubuntu-18-04-linux

Had the same issue - PHP7 missing mcrypt.

This worked for me in Ubuntu Please try below commands.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mcrypt php7.1-mcrypt
sudo apt-get upgrade

Then restarts apache

sudo service apache2 restart

Hope this commands helps!

Thanks @sti3bas. I am getting this error https://i.stack.imgur.com/e9TM6.png

Yes I wont work for 7.1. The guide you are following is for php 7.2 and up.

My solution should work for php 7.1. If you gave more info than "No working" I might be able to help

@sinnbeck , what info do you need ? Thanks.

Try running these one and the time, and tell me what error you are getting (if any). If no errors occured, then reboot and see if it works :)

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
sudo apt-get install php7.1-mcrypt

Thanks @sinnbeck . Here is the output of your commands. https://i.stack.imgur.com/oWXd8.png

Did you restart your computer?

@sinnbeck, Yes, I restarted my computer.

Can you try running php -v and post the output?

Thanks @sinnbeck , You can read my post https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60373640/detecting-php-version-in-linux-mint

Ok as already mentioned in that tread you have multiple versions of php. You website is using 7.1 and artisan is using 7.4. They should be the same.

Which version do you wish to use?

@sinnbeck 7.1

Try this then

sudo update-alternatives --set php /usr/bin/php7.1

After that it should work

Thanks @sinnbeck . Your solution is working. Thanks.
