Install mcrypt and Uncomment or add the mcrypt extension in php.ini file – Sougata Bose
Your php sapi may not be the same when serving scripts for your http server from when invoking in command line, so the php.ini file maybe a different one. Try php --ini in your bash to see which is the php.ini file for cli. – demental

If you have installed PHP through apt-get then find the mcrypt extension you are using either for apache by using

$ locate *mcrypt.ini
/etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/20-mcrypt.ini
/etc/php5/cli/conf.d/20-mcrypt.ini
/etc/php5/fpm/conf.d/20-mcrypt.ini
/etc/php5/mods-available/mcrypt.ini
/usr/share/php5/mcrypt/mcrypt.ini
/var/lib/ucf/cache/:etc:php5:mods-available:mcrypt.ini

go into the directory that you have your extension in

cd /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/20-mcrypt.ini

and you will probably find there is a symlink to the mcrypt extension in the mods-available directory. If that's the case all you have to do is cd into the /etc/php5/cli/conf.d directory and create a similar symlink

cd /etc/php5/cli/conf.d
sudo ln -s ../../mods-available/mcrypt.ini ./

then restart php maybe with sudo service php5 restart

That should work

Find mcrypt.ini file in /etc/php5/mods-available/mcrypt.ini ,if this file does not exist,means php5-mcrypt could create the file.

  • create the file mcrypt.ini in dir /etc/php5/mods-available/

  • And add the following config to it:

    extension=mcrypt.so

  • Run this commands

    sudo php5enmod mcrypt sudo service php5-fpm restart

This worked for me.Cheers
