You need to check that wheather the configuration files has been linked properly.It can be done via php5enmod.

Remove the symlink created by 

sudo rm /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/20-mcrypt.ini

Then use the php5enmod tool

sudo php5enmod mcrypt

Finally reload apache

sudo service apache2 reload

Check the source
