Fail to install Midas 3.2.20: "Could not find mixer" error about midas HOT 8 OPEN

@cpatrick Disabling openssl extension allowed me to complete the installation.

if (false && extension_loaded('openssl')) {
    $factory = new \RandomLib\Factory();
    $generator = $factory->getHighStrengthGenerator();
    $prefix = $generator->generateString(32);
} else {
    $prefix = $this->Component->Random->generateString(32);
}

I am not sure what is happening but it could be related to this issue ircmaxell/RandomLib#25

Thanks @cpatrick !

I believe this is an issue with not finding some underlying crypto library, do you have the openssl or mcrypt extension installed?

At any rate, we should improve the error message.

from midas.

OpenSSL extension is installed, not mcrypt.

Is mcrypt a dependency ? I did not get any error message on step1.

from midas.

it shouldn't be, does installing it address the issue?

Same error with mcrypt installed:

Hmmm, Are you able to manually create a RandomLib Matcher?

@jamiesnape, have you seen anything like this?

from midas.

No, but we do not test old versions of Midas with recent dependencies. Is there a compelling reason to be using 3.2.20? It is missing critical security fixes.

from midas.

@jamiesnape Mostly because our old applications (two or three years old) have been implemented as private module working with Midas 3.2.

It would make sens to use 3.4 instead if it was not requiring an important amount of work.
