ID: 19804 User updated by: scott@abcoa.com Reported By: scott@abcoa.com Status: Bogus Bug Type: mcrypt related Operating System: AIX 4.3.3 PHP Version: 4.2.3 New Comment: Thanks! Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-12 09:54:27] sniper@php.net yes, it's perfectly safe. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-09 11:22:54] scott@abcoa.com Re-opening bug cause I'm waiting for a response to the last comment I posted. Then you can close the bug after that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-08 12:56:35] scott@abcoa.com Since the php.ini does nothing, I did find something interesting. When I changed the file path in php.ini to the open-source libmcrypt-2.5.3 that had been untarred but not configured or compiled. Here's what I did ... --clip-- mcrypt.algorithms_dir = /usr/local/src3/libmcrypt-2.5.3/modules/algorithms mcrypt.modes_dir = /usr/local/src3/libmcrypt-2.5.3/modules/modes --clip-- This fix my problem with the mcrypt stuffs. So, I looked into the files and saw bunch of files that end with *.c and *.h. So, why does it work with the open source files but not with the *.la or *.a files in /usr/local/lib/libmcrypt??? Do you have an explanation or an answer to this??? I would appreciate it. I want to know is is it safe for me to use the open source files?? Thanks! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-08 09:27:59] scott@abcoa.com I have this code in php.ini and it does nothing! --clip-- mcrypt.algorithms_dir = /usr/local/lib/libmcrypt mcrypt.modes_dir = /usr/local/lib/libmcrypt --clip-- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-08 09:25:45] derick@php.net Again, this is NOT a bug. Just set the correct paths in php.ini mcrypt.modules_dir AND mcrypt.algorithms_dir are where your ciphers and modules are. As you already pasted in your first bugreport, this is "/usr/local/lib/libmcrypt". You see those files with ls -l ? That are your ciphers and modes.
