I've tried installing mcrypt and I'm receiving an error (below). Basically the error says I have the wrong version of PHP (as far as I can tell). I've seen a similar post here:

Can't install php-mysql module

But I'm not clear on how (if possible) to re-mediate this issue and get mcrypt installed.

I've checked a number of sources for how to install php-mcrypt; an example would be:

The error I am getting:

You're running CentOS 7, but you installed EPEL for CentOS 6. This obviously is not going to work. Remove it and reinstall EPEL for CentOS 7.

yum reinstall epel-release

  • says: Package epel-release-7-5.noarch already installed and latest version Nothing to do Commented Feb 14, 2016 at 21:25
  • You still need to get rid of the EPEL 6 repository. And probably clean metadata. Commented Feb 14, 2016 at 21:29
  • Misunderstood how to remove it; ran this to remove it: yum remove epel-release and that solved it! Commented Feb 14, 2016 at 21:34
