Bug Description

Binary package hint: php5

php from cli (only) throws a warning: "PHP Warning: Module 'mcrypt' already loaded in Unknown on line 0", it started to happen after my upgrade to intrepid.

kedadi@kedadi-laptop:~$ php -v
PHP Warning: Module 'mcrypt' already loaded in Unknown on line 0
PHP 5.2.6-2ubuntu4 with Suhosin-Patch 0.9.6.2 (cli) (built: Oct 14 2008 20:06:32)
Copyright (c) 1997-2008 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2008 Zend Technologies

a simple workaround (until it gets fixed): comment line "extension=mcrypt.so" (with #) @ /etc/php5/conf.d/mcrypt.ini or the same line (with ;) @ /etc/php5/cli/php.ini

What version of Ubuntu did you upgrade from? How did you go about the upgrade? Did you have php5-mcrypt and php5-cli already installed before the upgrade?

I upgraded from hardy to intrepid, the upgrade process went smooth as it should, and yes i had already installed php5-mcrypt and php5-cli.

When you did the upgrade, I assume you choose to keep your php.ini:s instead of installing new versions of it/them?

The problem arises from the fact that Hardy loads mcrypt.so directly from php.ini while Intrepid has it included from conf.d/. Keeping the original php.ini from Hardy, while the php5-mcrypt of intrepid adds itself to conf.d/ causes the situation you describe.

Actually, this affects mod_php the same way. The warning shows up, by default, in /var/log/apache/error

Not sure whatever to classify this as an upgrade-bug or not.

Probably I've kept the old php.ini during the upgrade.

Looks like an upgrade-bug, thanks for clarification.

Note sure if keeping old php.ini:s thru upgrades are supported.

Anyway, the manual fix is definitely to remove "extension=mcrypt.so" from your php.ini:s.

Keeping the old config files may well break your system. There is a workaround outlined in the bug. Marking as won't fix.
