Installing libmcrypt / mcrypt Module on Plesk

Had a major ball ache today getting the mcrypt module working on a plesk hosted VPS. This article was a god send!!

A lot less hair was lost :)

The crux of it is the that from the shell do the following:

> yum install libmcrypt-devel

If 32 bit do:

> yum install php-mcrypt

If 64 bit do:

> yum install php-mcrypt.x86_64

A useful resource for using the vi editor and it's commands :)
