Dear All, I still have that 3rd party stuff running mcrypt, thus switching to a newer PHP always needs mcrypt install. I tried to install it to php 7.3 and got this error. root@server [~]# /opt/cpanel/ea-php73/root/usr/bin/pecl install channel://pecl.php.net/mcrypt-1.0.1 WARNING: channel "pecl.php.net" has updated its protocols, use "pecl channel-update pecl.php.net" to update pecl/mcrypt requires PHP (version >= 7.2.0, version <= 7.3.0, excluded versions: 7.3.0), installed version is 7.3.2 No valid packages found install failed

  Seems like there is newer package v1.0.2 link here PECL :: Package :: mcrypt So just changed install command to this to work with php7.3 /opt/cpanel/ea-php73/root/usr/bin/pecl install channel://pecl.php.net/mcrypt-1.0.2

  The mcrypt library has been declared DEPRECATED since PHP 7.1. You can do manual installation with pecl.

  Glad you were able to get it resolved @Zoltan Szabo but @vacancy is correct mcrypt has been deprecated since PHP 7.1 in favor of OpenSSL you can see this here: PHP: Deprecated features in PHP 7.1.x - Manual Thanks!
