Bug #10187 Updated: Warning: mcrypt module initialization failed

ID: 10187 Updated by: derick Reported By: clewis@myfonts.com Status: Assigned Bug Type: mcrypt related PHP Version: 4.0 Latest CVS (05/04/2001) Assigned To: derick Comments: I guess this could be an OS specific problem. I've no access to a Mac OS X machine unfortunately. Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-04-05 11:48:59] clewis@myfonts.com Incidentally, I tried the new-style mcrypt functions as Colin suggested, and got a similar warning: "Could not open encryption module." --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-04-05 11:30:47] derick@php.net analysed > assigned --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-04-05 11:30:06] derick@php.net Another mcrypt bug, I'll check this one out. It may be a platform depended bug BTW. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-04-05 11:29:52] cmv@php.net First, the "--disable-posix-threads" requirement for libmcrypt isn't a requirement anymore. As of libmcrypt 2.4.x, you don't need it. Second, I think you should be using the 2.4.x-style mcrypt functions. Look at example 2 at http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mcrypt.php Third, blowfish is broken in libmcrypt. It will encode/decode internally, but don't rely on it if you need to pass data to a non-PHP application (e.g. Perl). - Colin --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-04-05 11:24:02] clewis@myfonts.com Using libmcrypt-2.4.10 on Mac OS X 10.0, compiled with --with-apache=/usr/local/src/apache_1.3.19 --with-mysql=/ usr/local --with-mcrypt --enable-track-vars --disable-debug My sample script: <?php $stuff = mcrypt_cbc(MCRYPT_BLOWFISH,"This is my key","this is my message",MCRYPT_ENCRYPT); print base64_encode($stuff); ?> produces this error: Warning: mcrypt module initialization failed in /Users/ clewis/dev/website/public/asdf.php on line 3 libmcrypt was compiled with --disable-posix-threads as suggested on the PHP mcrypt page. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
