title: Homestead Laravel -- Mcrypt PHP extension required
body: <p>I have installed Homestead and I am trying to work on a Laravel project version 4.2 however I keep getting the following error:</p>
  
  <p>Mcrypt PHP extension required.</p>
  
  <p>I have already installed Mcypt installed on the server and I have enabled it into the PHP 7 ini file. This problem does not want to go away for some reason. </p>
  
  <p>Any recommendations to what I can do in order to enable Mcrypt on my virtual box please?</p>
