Mcrypt missing

[xenolevis]

Hi All,

Recently upgraded to egroupware-docker. It wasn’t without hiccups: I almost gave up after it all went tits up after errors because of SELinux.
Anyway, it’s now up and running (without SSL, but I’ll get to that in another post). This error about mcrypt missing pops up a_lot in the logs:

[error] 6#6: *723 FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: EGroupware\Api\Session::init_crypt() required PHP extension mcrypt not loaded and can not be loaded, sessions get NOT encrypted!PHP message: EGroupware\Api\Session::init_crypt() required PHP extension mcrypt not loaded and can not be loaded, sessions get NOT encrypted!" while reading response header from upstream, client: 172.18.0.1, server: _, request: "POST /egroupware/login.php HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://172.18.0.2:9000", host: "127.0.0.1:8080"

How would I go about getting rid of that?

Cheers!

You have session encryption switched on in your header.inc.php.

That feature makes use of the decrecated MCrypt PHP extension and was meant to better secure a shared hosting environment.

Simply switch it off in your header.inc.php file, either by using or Header Admin (lower login of Setup) or editing /var/lib/egroupware/header.inc.php manually and setting it to false: https://github.com/EGroupware/egroupware/blob/master/header.inc.php.template#L42

Thank you Ralf.
I had tried that already, but had not figured out how to properly restart the container. Works now, errors gone.
