Introduction
To make sure that mcrypt doesn't fail to load when
using Windows XP , Apache 2 and php 5, even if all the required procedure to install it has been accomplished already, copy libmcrypt.dll, which is normally in the php main directory, into the php\ext directory.

Also on Ubuntu, make sure you actually have php5-mcrypt installed. You can install it with:
sudo apt-get install php5-mcrypt
If you get any errors, you may need to enable the 'universe' repository, explained here:

PROBLEM: cannot load mcrypt extension. please check your php configuration
this setting my experience for xampp :D
I do the same step but with a little modified
for the first, stop all xampp services, and then do this step :
copy file libmcrypt.dll from D:\xampplite\php\
to : C:\WINDOWS\system32
open these 2files below :
D:\xampplite\apache\bin\php.ini
D:\xampplite\php\php.ini
change this text :
;extension=php_mcrypt.dll
to
extension=php_mcrypt.dll
(ie. remove ; )
Note :
Please adjust the directory location per your own installation.

On Windows installations, for the dynamic extension (extension=php_mcrypt.dll) to load properly, you must copy libmcrypt.dll from your PHP root folder (e.g. C:\PHP) to the following location:
C:\WINDOWS\system32
With this done, the dynamic extension will load up just fine.

Using PHP version "PHP Version 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.4" and Ubuntu 12.0.4 on Apache2...
Make sure you have mcrypt installed and active on your php5 install. Use "sudo apt-get install php5-mcrypt" to install, that should sort the issue.

On ubuntu 8 (hardy), the mcrypt library seems to be here.
/usr/lib/php5/20060613/mcrypt.so
So I just created mcrypt.ini in /etc/php5/conf.d and added this one liner.
extension=mcrypt.so

For Ubuntu Linux add a line:
extension=php_mcrypt.so
to the file /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
and restart network:
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

(Relating to XAMPP Lite and MySQL)
PROBLEM (seen on MySQL admin page): cannot load mcrypt extension. please check your php configuration
SOLUTION: With XAMPP Lite 1.7.1 all I had to do was stop the server, edit D:\xampplite\php\php.ini and uncomment (remove the semicolon) the following line:
extension=php_mcrypt.dll
Elsewhere in the file is a line setting the path to the extension directory (i.e. where php_mycrypt.dll is located) -- search for extension_dir. It should look something like:
extension_dir = "\xampplite\php\ext\"
Obviously, adjust accordingly for your own drive and directory structure.

Windows 7; 64bit
Download libmcrypt.dll:
http://files.edin.dk/php/win32/mcrypt/libmcrypt.dll
Copy this downloaded file to "extension_dir" directory and restart server.
Works for me. :)

Under IIS 7.5 - Win2k8r2 you must copy libmcrypt.dll under C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP

With Windows 7 (64 bits) I needed to uncomment the mcrypt line as well, so:
extension=php_mcrypt.dll
And after that I've copied the libmcrypt.dll to c:\Windows.
Apache restart (with administrator rights of course) and there you go.

PROBLEM: cannot load mcrypt extension. please check your php configuration
I have done as suggested by the contributor before me and copied libmcrypt.dll from F:\wamp\bin\php\PHP52~1.8
to C:\WINDOWS\system32 . This did not work on it's own. I found other advice as follows and now mcrypt is working.
OTHER ADVICE:
Go to F:\wamp\bin\php\PHP52~1.8\php.ini
change ;extension=php_mcrypt.dll
to extension=php_mcrypt.dll
(ie. remove ; )
now go to the following 2 files and do the same:
F:\wamp\bin\php\PHP52~1.8\phpForApache.ini
F:\wamp\bin\apache\APACHE~1.11\bin\php.ini
Please adjust the directory location per your own installation.
