Installation

Trying to move to a new server and I'm having so much trouble!

I'm getting an error when trying to install asking for mcrypt extension. I've added extension=mcrypt.so to my php.ini file but I'm still getting this error:

Problem 1
- Installation request for laravel/framework v5.0.16 -> satisfiable by laravel/framework[v5.0.16].
- laravel/framework v5.0.16 requires ext-mcrypt * -> the requested PHP extension mcrypt is missing from your system.

  To enable extensions, verify that they are enabled in those .ini files:
    - /etc/php.ini
    - /etc/php.d/00-ioncube-loader.ini
    - /etc/php.d/curl.ini
    - /etc/php.d/dom.ini
    - /etc/php.d/fileinfo.ini
    - /etc/php.d/gd.ini
    - /etc/php.d/imap.ini
    - /etc/php.d/json.ini
    - /etc/php.d/mbstring.ini
    - /etc/php.d/mysql.ini
    - /etc/php.d/mysqli.ini
    - /etc/php.d/pdo.ini
    - /etc/php.d/pdo_mysql.ini
    - /etc/php.d/pdo_sqlite.ini
    - /etc/php.d/phar.ini
    - /etc/php.d/sqlite3.ini
    - /etc/php.d/wddx.ini
    - /etc/php.d/xmlreader.ini
    - /etc/php.d/xmlwriter.ini
    - /etc/php.d/xsl.ini
    - /etc/php.d/zend_extensions_psa.ini
    - /etc/php.d/zip.ini
  You can also run `php --ini` inside terminal to see which files are used by PHP in CLI mode.

Can anyone help?

this command tells you if it's enabled

php --ri mcrypt

When I run the command, it says it's not enabled. How do I enable?

I think you need restart your server...

I already did after I added to extension=mcrypt.so my php.ini file.
