title: Laravel 4.2 on PHP 7.2 with Mcrypt enabled still shows 'Mcrypt PHP extension required.' on browser
body: <p>I am trying to run a Laravel application (4.2.22) locally with Laravel Homestead 8 that runs on php 7.2 with mcrypt. </p>
  
  <p>I installed mcrypt and enabled it on both php.ini cli and apache2... I have tried everything but my browser still shows "Mcrypt PHP extension required." when I run the application... I was able to even install dependencies (composer install) without showing "mcrypt required"</p>
  
  <p><code>php -i | grep "mcrypt"</code> shows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>mcrypt
  mcrypt support =&gt; enabled
  mcrypt_filter support =&gt; enabled
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><code>php -m</code> shows mcrypt </p>
  
  <p>Is this something that might have to do with Laravel, Composer or some caching?</p>
