laravel instal error with composer

Question

I'm trying to instal laravel the following fairly sure I have mcrypt installed

me:~/public_html$ composer create-project laravel/laravel laravel-test
 Installing laravel/laravel (v5.0.22)
 - Installing laravel/laravel (v5.0.22)
Loading from cache

Created project in laravel-test
Loading composer repositories with package information
Installing dependencies (including require-dev) from lock file
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of      packages.

Problem 1
- Installation request for laravel/framework v5.0.16 -> satisfiable by laravel/framework[v5.0.16].
- laravel/framework v5.0.16 requires ext-mcrypt * -> the requested PHP extension mcrypt is missing from your system.

sudo apt-get install php5-mcrypt

Create an auxiliary symlink and enable the module:

cd /etc/php5/mods-available

ln -sf ../conf.d/mcrypt.ini .

php5enmod mcrypt

Finally, reload apache2 configuration:

service apache2 reload

Try this first and then run your above code as laravel needs mcrypt php extension installed.

I have done this, says it's already installed I also tried sudo apt-get --reinstall install php5-mcrypt

did you restart your terminal

GAV Over a year ago

Yes, I also added the line 'extension=mcrypt.so' to my php.ini file and it still makes no difference

Yes I have restarted apache

if I do 'sudo php5enmod mcrypt' returns WARNING: Module mcrypt ini file doesn't exist under /etc/php5/mods-available

This solved my problem

  sudo rm /etc/php5/mods-available/mcrypt.ini
  sudo apt-get purge php5-mcrypt
  sudo apt-get install mcrypt
  sudo apt-get install php5-mcrypt
  sudo php5enmod mcrypt
