Go to your package manager and view all php packages. You will find an mcrypt package, not installed. Install this package with all dependencies, there are non-PHP libraries that this package depends on. restart apache with 'apachectl restart' after you have done this.

Solved it by restarting apache2

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

hopefully someone can use this in the future... :)
