    @Michael

    Good question Michael…
    We did have to create a new mcrypt package for our roundcube installer – its compatible with 10.8 – 10.10.

    If you need mcrypt sooner than later, you can install our roundcube package, then delete roundcube (or leave it).. mcrypt would remain in place.

    I should have the standalone mcrypt installer ready this week.
    This one package will install on 10.8, 10.9 and 10.10

    I was download the package and install it. But it seem you forget to remove /user/local/topicdesk directory. Mcrypt will not success installed if /etc/php.ini doesn’t exist, my opinion you should copy from /etc/php.ini.default first if /etc/php.ini doesn’t exist.

    Hello,
    In addition to mcrypt, I would like to use the postgresql extension pgcrypto, but this is not present in the extension directory of the OSX Server 3.2.1 software:

    create extension pgcrypto;

    ERROR: could not open extension control file /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/share/postgresql/extension/pg crypto.control: No such file or directory.

    Is there a way to add the extension manualy?
