Topic: mcrypt on SME 8 - How to install

[MarkR]

Hi All,

I am trying to install magento on my SME server which is used as a mail server / web development server.

Unfortunately it requires the mcrypt php module which is not installed, I have searched the forums / bug zilla for an answer but I am still unable to get mcrypt installed, (php-mcrypt is obsoleted by smeserver-support)

I have recently updated my PHP to PHP Version 5.3.3.

Any help / pointing in the right direction would be great.

Many thanks
Mark
