Mcrypt installed but doesn’t show up on PHPINFO

Question

I think I managed to install mcrypt lib. The files are in place, but it looks like the library doesn’t run at all.

Tried to add:

extension=mcrypt.so

to PHP.INI; no good. Any help?

Answer

Have you tried restarting Apache? It won’t recognise the new installed module until you do so AFAIK. Also, you’ve written you “think” you’ve installed it – did you use eg apt-get or yum to install it (eg apt-get install php-mcrypt) or just download it?
