Error/Mcrypt

[RedXIII]

I am receiving the "Cannot load mcrypt extension. Please check your PHP configuration." error in phpMyAdmin.

I confirmed that my php extension dir is set correctly, and the mcrypt extension is uncommented in both php.ini files.

I turned on the php error log, and I received the following error, which I do not understand.

[14-Aug-2007 22:29:46] PHP Warning: PHP Startup: SVWj: Unable to initialize module
Module compiled with module API=20020429, debug=0, thread-safety=1
PHP compiled with module API=20060613, debug=0, thread-safety=1
These options need to match
in Unknown on line 0

Any ideas?

You only need to uncomment it one php.ini file and that one is in:
xampp\apache\bin\php.ini

This is the only php.ini file you need to worry about in a default installation of XAMPP.

You can check the php.ini location by selecting phpinfo() from the XAMPP welcome page menu in the left hand frame.

I highly recommend DTX.

That is what I thought, but I read somewhere that uncommented both of them will fix the issue. I suppose that is incorrect.

Even when I uncomment it in the one .ini and leave the other alone, the issue remains.

Any other ideas?
Thanks

What is the location of the php.ini file you are uncommenting in?

When you have uncommented the correct php.ini file that is in the directory I pointed you to in my first reply, you can then look in the phpinfo() page, I also mention above and check if MyCrypt is indeed enabled.

You should see something like this (in a fancy table) when it is correctly enabled:

mcrypt

I'm editing the reported configuration file 'C:\xampp\apache\bin\php.ini'.

I do not see the mcrypt chart. Although, I do see mcrypt_filter.

I don't see an mcrypt_filter in my phpinfo() page.

What does this line tell you in your phpinfo() page?

Loaded Configuration File C:\xampp\apache\bin\php.ini

I enabled mcrypt_filter in php.ini to check if it was needed. Makes no difference with it enabled or disabled.

I did some testing, and when I disabled mcrypt in php.ini, the error message no longer appeared. Do you have any idea what that error means? Do I somehow have an incompatible version of mcrypt?

edit: I downloaded the Xampp.zip installation, and replace all of the .dll files in the php root, ext and extension folders. After I replaced the files, I rebooted apache, and the error message was gone in the log, and on phpMyAdmin. As I guessed, I must of had a incorrect/corrupt version of mcrypt.

Thanks for your assistance.
