Q: Unable to install mcrypt and smbclient php extension
Hi,
i will install some PHP extension to my OS X 10.11 with Server app V5.
I have disabled the SIP, installed it, but some of it will not work. They are mcrypt and smbclient.
The installation was done correctly and the extensions are in correct place and are added in php.ini.
Please can anybody help me what should I do, that it works?
Thanks.
OS X Server

Your Apache logs should give you clues as to why things do not work as expected. As a rule of thumb, there should be no need to disable SIP to install additional PHP modules. Simply install them into /usr/local or any directory not monitored by SIP.
For MCrypt, you could use this installer, which will make live easier for you:
