ionCube PHP module gets error

Question

i have uploaded my site on a sharing host.i use ionCube PHP in my site. the index page of site gives this error:

" index.php requires the ionCube PHP Loader ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so to be installed by the site administrator. "

i asked the server support team and the said ionCube is installed on server.

if so why cause above error??

Answer 1

check your php.ini, is there something like zend_extension=ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so? if not add in the path to ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so, restart apache

• my ioncube is ages, hopefully is still using zend_extension=ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so to load the module into php

Answer 2

Maybe the server has a different version of ionCube. Look at your phpinfo to verify that it is installed and the version is correct.

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Answer 3

Seems like some misconfiguration on your host.

phpinfo() should reveal something like this:
