There is still no extension after apt-getinstallphp5-mcrypt, is it set somewhere?

{Code...} after I installed it, The mcrypt extension is not displayed in $ php-m. Do I need to set it further or what is going on?

cd /etc/php5/cli/conf.dsudo ln -s ../../mods-available/mcrypt.ini 20-mcrypt.ini

Ubuntu does not know why. Currently, the mcrypt extension is installed without a configuration file by default, so you have to manually soft the link once.

Source:
Install php5-mcrypt

sudo apt-get install php5-mcrypt

Edit the php configuration file

sudo gedit /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini 

Add it under extension (any independent row will work)

Extension = php_mcrypt.so (the original php5-mcrypt.so is invalid)

Save and restart apache2

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Php-m Displays the configuration of the command line PHP.
