  (Asked by: username_0 on 2014-08-04)
  
  I'm stuck on the /admin/install page, getting an error "Can't run Craft :(" saying that Mcrypt is required.
  
  I've tried installing with Homebrew, but kept getting an error. So, I installed mcrypt manually using these [instructions on Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14595841/installing-mcrypt-extension-for-php-on-osx-mountain-lion). PHP and Mcrypt are installed:
  
  ```
  $ which php
  /usr/local/bin/php
  
  $ which mcrypt
  /usr/local/bin/mcrypt
  
  ```
  
  And in my php.ini file I've added:
  
  ```
  extension=mcrypt.so
  
  ```
  
  (I've also tried including the path extension=/usr/local/bin/mcrypt.so)
  
  In the `;extension` area (around line 880).
  
  Even after restarting Apache, I still get the same error that "Mcrypt isn't installed" from Craft.
