Have you checked if the file is actually there? – Rummer

Yes I did, there was no such file. – Ollieollis

Answer 1

This is cause by mcrypt extension.

Edit /etc/php.d/mcrypt.ini

and change

; Enable mcrypt extension module
extension=module.so

to this

; Enable mcrypt extension module
extension=mcrypt.so

Edit:

If the directory /etc/php.d does not exist – it seems You don`t have php installed or file mcrypt.ini is in different location. Try work around.

in addition, mcrypt.so is also added into php.ini and you need to comment it out from there and only leave it active in /etc/php.d/mcrypt.ini – Matroclinous

The directory /etc/php.d does not exist! – Attorney
