What am i missing?

Thank you in advance

Answer 1

Finally i fixed it! Still don't know the reason, but... Here is how i've solved it

1) put homebrew php to the PATH

export PATH="/usr/local/opt/php56/bin":other_paths

2) change php module in apache(httpd.conf)

LoadModule php5_module /usr/local/opt/php56/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so
#LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so`

3) uninstall all versions mcrypt and phpXX_mcrypt

4) delete phpXX_mcrypt ini-file

5) restart apache. Make sure that mcrypt is not in php(for ex. php -i | grep --color -i mcrypt)

6) install mcrypt and phpXX_mcrypt with brew

brew search mcrypt
brew install mcrypt
brew install phpXX_mcrypt

7) restart apache

Hope it will help :)
