title: Install php-mcrypt on CentOS 6
body: <p>I have been trying to install php-mcrypt for a while now. Everytime I get the &quot;No package php-mcrypt available.&quot; returned to me. Here's what I've tried:</p>
  <pre><code>root@ip-********** [~]# yum install php-mcrypt --enablerepo=centosplus (&lt;- both with and without this)

  <p>I have made sure to install the EPEL repository. At this point I'm just stumped. I've followed EVERY tutorial I've found online and get the same error.</p>
