I also have this problem with Ubuntu 14.04 after install.

First enable the mcrypt

sudo gedit /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

Add this command in any line

extension=mcrypt.so

Create conf.d folder in /etc/php5

sudo mkdir conf.d

And inside that folder create mcrypt.ini file

sudo gedit mcrypt.ini 

Then add this command to that file

extension=mcrypt.so

Then create a link to file

sudo ln -s /etc/php5/conf.d/mcrypt.ini /etc/php5/mods-available

Enable mcrypt module

sudo php5enmod mcrypt

Restart apache

sudo service apache2 restart
