Bug #10187 Updated: Warning: mcrypt module initialization failed

ID: 10187 Updated by: jmoore Reported By: clewis@myfonts.com Status: Assigned Bug Type: mcrypt related Operating system: PHP Version: 4.0 Latest CVS (05/04/2001) Assigned To: derick Comments: Derick: Bug 10281 reports this on Linux. Probably not platform specific. Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-05-01 03:37:44] derick@php.net I guess this could be an OS specific problem. I've no access to a Mac OS X machine unfortunately. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [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 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
