are you using xampp or you've installed stand alone php? Basically you have to enable mcrypt in php — Gaurav Dave, Jan 10 '15 at 12:38

i don't think so i am using linux first of all and second i dont think i am suing mycrypt @lukasgeiter — Ahsan Hussain, Jan 10 '15 at 13:31
You are not using mcrypt but Laravel does so you need to enable it. The post I linked has various answers about that topic... — lukasgeiter, Jan 10 '15 at 13:33

Check if you have mcrypt by doing:

php -i | grep mcrypt

If you don't have then:

Try this:

sudo apt-get install php5-mcrypt
sudo opt/lampp/lampp restart

Else:

export PATH="/opt/lamp/php-bin-path:$PATH"
