This seems better suited for [Server Fault](https://serverfault.com/) though read their guidelines before posting. — Script47, Sep 04 '19 at 15:14
mcrypt is deprecated and outdated. Use OpenSSL or sodium instead. — Charlotte Dunois, Sep 04 '19 at 23:20

This can be fixed by installing the yum install php-pear library. This includes the pecl binary.

It's not resolve the issue anyway thanks for your support @MaartenDev I've changed the crypt method to open_ssl and my issue got resolved – Magendiran Sep 06 '19 at 11:39
