Installing Ioncube loader

[scoutsniper]

Hi,can somebody help me to install ioncube? Thanks in advance.

[joximu]

why do you want that? we support open source - and a php encoder is - at least on the first sight - not very open...

OK thanks to you for your help.I need this because clients want this i don't use ioncube i have one but i don't use it it costs 500 dollars.Aggain thanks.

[joximu]

Ah, ok. The client/customers...

Well, maybe there is someone in this forum knowing the software - but I fear not...

It seams that you only have to install the "loader" which can read the encoded php files.
Have a look
http://www.ioncube.com/loaders.php
and
http://www.ioncube.com/loader_installation.php

Should be loaded with the php.ini of the customers domain...

thats very easy. Download ioncube and load the whole dir ioncube into your htdocs Dir of the Domain you want to use ioncube. Thats normally all. You don't need to write it into your php.ini.

Here it is... very very easy

Code:

cd /usr/src
wget http://downloads2.ioncube.com/loader_downloads/ioncube_loaders_lin_x86.tar.gz
tar zxvf ioncube_loaders_lin_x86.tar.gz

Check some php information

PHP Version

Code:

php -v

Thread Safety or Not?

Code:

php -i | grep "Thread Safety"

Copy ioncube loader to the right place
*** Presuming php version 5.2 and Thread Safety Disabled

Code:

mkdir /var/www/virtual/domain.com/ioncube
cp  /usr/src/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so /var/www/virtual/domain.com/ioncube

Add the extension to php.ini

Code:

nano /var/www/fcgi/domain.com/php5/php.ini

Add this at the end of the file

Code:

;[IonCube]
zend_extension = /var/www/virtual/domain.com/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so

Save and exit.

Restart apache

Code:

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

DONE!

Thanks I'm using gOOvER method! But it's good HOW-TO.

I don't know if you're talking of the same thing.
If the php files of the customer are encoded then you need an extension in php.ini to decode the php files (the "ioncube loader") - well this sounds at least very plausible...
For the encoding you maybe don't need the extension - but for the decoding....

But since I don't know the product... maybe I'm wrong...

@Joximu. You don't need to write the loader into the php.ini. Normally only create a dir named "ioncube" in the root dir of the script and put all the loaders into it. Only If this method don't work, you have to write the loader into php.ini. That's the easiest way

[joximu]

ah - then the encoded php files do load the loader by themselve...?
ok, this also sounds plausible...

Thanx, J
