PHP extension “mcrypt” must be loaded. - magento

I am installing magento CMS, and am trying to install the files. I am getting this error when I am in configuration mode.
PHP extension “mcrypt” must be loaded.
I am used to activating this extension by removing ; from extension=php_mcrypt.dll in php.in, but the problem is still present.
Why would this be happening and how do I fix this problem?

I recommend to restart the web server.

Run php file with
<?php
phpinfo();
and check whether there is a mcrypt extension, if no check path for right php.ini file.

We cannot install extension in admin panel in Magento 2.3.2

We have installed magento 2.3 community edition in windows. We use Xampp 7.2.20. Magento installation is done successfully and admin panel is running fine. But when we try to install any extension from extension manager section it shows different errors. The errors is like as followings:
Step 1: Readiness Check

missing PHP extensions. Hide detail
The best way to resolve this is to install the correct missing extensions. The exact fix depends on our server, your host, and other system variables.
Our PHP extension help can get you started.
For additional assistance, contact your hosting provider.
In some cases, you might have two PHP configuration files: one for the PHP command line and for the web server. If so, make the change in both php.ini files. For details, see the php.ini reference.
We cannot understand what is the problem in php extension and php settings. We cannot understand which extension, library, module is missing to install extension.
If any one has solution please give us.
Check the following modules are installed and enabled on your server. This are the required PHP extension for Magento 2
bc-math
curl
gd, ImageMagick 6.3.7 (or later) or both
intl
PDO/MySQL

Installing YAML for PHP in IIS

I am trying to install the YAML 1.2 extension to PHP 5.6 under IIS 10 (Windows 10). I am using http://pecl.php.net/package/yaml/1.2.0/windows to download the files.
I have downloaded the PHP 5.6 non-thread-safe DLL (x86 to match my version of PHP), copied php_yaml.dll to my extension directory, copied yaml.dll to C:\Windows\System32 (which is reported as one of the paths in phpinfo()) and added extension=php_yaml.dll to my php.ini. I've verified with phpinfo() that the correct php.ini file is being loaded, and commenting out other extensions removes them from the output of phpinfo().
However, YAML doesn't appear in the output of phpinfo() and the functions are not loaded. Running php-cgi.exe -v from the command line gives a warning:
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\PHP\php_5_06_14\ext\php_yaml.dll' - The specified module could not be found.
in Unknown on line 0
The file exists at the location specified and the permissions appear to be correct. What else can I do to get it working?
As far as I can tell, the use of PECL as package manager is being in dropping.
Having to install extensions in a server makes things more complicated and it depends on the environment, permissions, etc.
I'm sure someone could help you solve that (I haven't work on windows in years, so I can't)
But, instead I suggest you another solution. Maybe you can opt for it, maybe you have to stick with the extension, but, in case you can actually look for other option, I suggest you to use another library.
https://github.com/symfony/yaml
And, you could use Composer to install your libraries, I suggest you take a look at it.
Again, it may be for you or not, but I think this would be a lot easier.
I hope that helps.
I put the path to my extension directory in the path environment variable. That fixed the issue for me.

Composer fails installing laraveldaily/quickadmin

While intstalling laraveldaily/quickadmin I got the following error.
Please help me to solve my problem.
As you can read in the error message
intervetion/image requires ext-fileinfo
You need to enable ext-fileinfo by editing your php.ini and change the following line by removing the ; at the beginning.
From:
;extension=php_fileinfo.dll
To:
extension=php_fileinfo.dll
Find out which php.ini to edit
Run php --ini from a terminal. Make sure you run this command from terminal as the CLI version of PHP may have loaded another php.ini than the web version. Your phpinfo() may not contain the correct path.
As error describes, laraveldaily/quickadmin requires intervention/image which again requires ext-fileinfo. This library is maintained by php_fileinfo.dll
php_fileinfo.dll is a dll(library file) which contains modules to guess the content type and encoding of a file by looking for certain magic byte sequences at specific positions within the file.
To fix this error first go to the directory of your php installation.Go to the ext folder and make sure that php_fileinfo.dll is present.
Now open your php.ini file (To locate that, type php --ini on the command line, also suggested by #peh) .
In the php --ini file just add the following line.
extension=php_fileinfo.dll
and recheck with the composer.

PHP extension "curl" must be loaded

I'm trying to install a Magento on my server, and when I get to "Configuration", the installation launches:
PHP extension "curl" must be loaded.
I've checked my php.ini, and extension=php_curl.dll is not commented. For both Apache and PHP folders. I also checked my Wamp manager, and it looks like this:
.
So I guess that my php_curl is working fine... But I still get the same message when I install Magento:
.
Any idea on what's wrong?
I had the same problem. The mod_curl extension in wamp has a bug.
You can replace it with a newer version. I don't know which PHP-Version you use but here you can download a newer version. Download a TS (TheadSafe) version of the module and replace it with your existing curl module.
http://www.anindya.com/php-5-4-3-and-php-5-3-13-x64-64-bit-for-windows/
And a helpfull post:
http://forum.wampserver.com/read.php?2,85716
Replaced the old php_curl.dll with the new one in \wamp\bin\php\php5.4.3\ext\ by downloading from http://www.anindya.com/php-5-4-3-and-php-5-3-13-x64-64-bit-for-windows/ .
Now its working. It is the error with recent wamp installation package.
You have to modify the php.ini files in your xampp folder. Three files in three different places need to be changed.
Follow the following steps to enable curl library with XAMPP in Windows:
Step 1:
Browse and open the following 3 files
C:\Program Files\xampp\apache\bin\php.ini
C:\Program Files\xampp\php\php.ini
C:\Program Files\xampp\php\php4\php.ini
Step 2:
Uncomment the following line in your php.ini file by removing the semicolon (;).
;extension=php_curl.dll
After that it will look something like something below-
extension=php_curl.dll
Step 3:
Restart your Apache server.
Step 4:
Check your phpinfo() to see whether curl has properly enabled or not.
Enjoy using curl() library.

php gd lib is installed but not working

On the localhost the library is working fine, when the function is called on production,php throws a fatal errer.
i checked the phpinfo() its there and it is enabled.
I tired to see if there is anything that i can add on the php.ini but i couldn't find any.
The error is thrown when i call
gd_info();
Is there anything that i can add on the php.ini file that can solve this problem, or is there another library for gd?
The error am getting is the following
Fatal error: Call to undefined function gd_info(
It may be a little bit late, but I hope it helps anyone.
I had the same problem when I tried to run GD over apache.
The problem was in php.ini path for apache. By default it is not using php.ini from php directory.
You need to define PHPIniDir in httpd file or place copy of php.ini to apache folder.
To check if it is your case you can compare output of php --ini from php folder and output of phpinfo() over apache. If it is showing different php.ini destinations you need to fix it.
I had exactly the same problem
although I had installed it using apt-get install php7.0-gd that function was undefined, so I inspected php.ini file in /etc/php/7.0/apache2/php.ini
turned out that the line for gd extension was commented!
so I removed semicolon before the line and it was working!
so crazy wasted an half an hour of mine :D
