Installing Magento without Mcrypt
problem:
Can't install magento as mcrypt is not enabled on php server, that happend on most of shared hosting
Solution:
Step One: edit /app/code/core/Mage/Install/Installer/Env.php, and find
Mage::getSingleton('install/session')->addError(
Mage::helper('install')->__('PHP Extension "%s" must be loaded', $extension)
);
just above it, add
if ($extension == 'mcrypt') {
return true;
}
Step Two: create /lib/Varien/Crypt/Base64.php and throw this into it
<?php
class Varien_Crypt_Base64 extends Varien_Crypt_Abstract {
public function __construct(array $data=array()) {
parent::__construct($data);
}
public function init($key) {
return $this;
}
public function encrypt($data) {
if (!strlen($data)) {
return $data;
}
return base64_encode($data);
}
public function decrypt($data) {
if (!strlen($data)) {
return $data;
}
return base64_decode($data);
}
}
Last Step: edit /lib/Varien/Crypt.php and change
static public function factory($method='mcrypt')
with
static public function factory($method='base64')
just done.
