I have been trying to install laravel for 3 days on ubuntu 16.04. I am following the top search links of laravel installation process. But I failed to execute each and every process I had tried. Now I am facing a different issue on installing PHP on my ubuntu. I had installed maria db once, but did not succeed. But it might have broken something that resulted in me not being able to install PHP. The issue I am facing:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
php is already the newest version (1:7.2+62+ubuntu16.04.1+deb.sury.org+3).
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
mysql-server : Depends: mysql-server-5.7 but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
When I try php -v it gives me this error
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/20170718/mcrypt.so' (tried: /usr/lib/php/20170718/mcrypt.so (/usr/lib/php/20170718/mcrypt.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory), /usr/lib/php/20170718//usr/lib/php/20170718/mcrypt.so.so (/usr/lib/php/20170718//usr/lib/php/20170718/mcrypt.so.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)) in Unknown on line 0
