CentOS release 6.3 (Final) php-mcrypt Install Fails

Question

I got a clean installation of CentOS 6.3, with php 5.3.18. I tried installing the epel-release-6-7.noarch.rpm and epel-release-6-7.noarch.rpm in order to run

# yum install php-mcrypt

However it cannot find the package. Also tried

# yum install php53-mcrypt

but no luck.

Can Anyone point me on the right direction?

Could you please post the exact error you are getting after yum command ? — Abhijeet Kasurde, Oct 26 '12 at 15:35
What is the output of `yum repolist`? If EPEL is not listed, it's either disabled in configuration or `epel-release-6-7.noarch.rpm` did not install correctly. (Or, it's not reachable on the network.) — Aaron Copley, Jan 15 '13 at 17:26

Install the EPEL REPO via:

rpm -Uvh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm

#OR .../x86_64/... for 64bit

then you can

yum install php-mcrypt
