Adding this answer for anyone who encounters this issue with Linux Mint 17.

Just installed a LAMP stack on and was getting this error. The mycrpt.ini file was already inst the /etc/php5/mods-available directory. All that needed to be done was to run the command to enable the module:

sudo php5enmod mcrypt

Restart apache after that and you'll be good to go.
