The mcrypt extension is missing. Please check your PHP configuration.

Hi! I'm newbies and have this alert into MySQL : The mcrypt extension is missing. Please check your PHP configuration. When i update script of MySQL into Virtualmin, i obtain this error :

Somebody know how to solve this problem?

Thanks!!

Howdy,

You don't actually need the mcrypt module for phpMyAdmin, and it'll work fine without that.

The issue though is that mcrypt doesn't come with CentOS, you'd need to get it from another source, such as the EPEL repository.

However, you'll be able to manage your databases just fine without installing that.
