ioncube on PHP5? - need for little help

15 years 9 months ago #3583 by wadzaloo
Hi all,

I have already installed SEF Advance2008 on Joomla 1.5.8 - by default, my server is Linux/PHP4
Working fine....
result of sef_advance_tester.php : all is green)

Now, in order to install a 3rd party component exclusively running on PHP5, i have changed this configuration (very easy by a simple addition in .htaccess)
result of sef_advance_tester.php :ion cube is not working
Site error: the file /homez.47/legrattoo/www/components/com_sef/sef_conf.php requires the ionCube PHP Loader ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so to be installed by the site administrator.

My noob question is what version of loadcube loader have i to install ? (on the root site, i just see versions/platform but not compatibility with PHP4 or 5) - maybe i am wrong and there is an other way but i did not understood clearly the story of php.ini to be modified :-[

Thank you by advance for your help

There is a special setting for PHP 5.2.5+, everything is explained in detail on our ionCube installation guide: www.sakic.net/support/ioncube/
Just follow that and you should have no problems.

Many thanks for your answer...

Unfortunatly, after reading carefully the procedures, i am not skilled enough to create the relevant php.ini file.. reason why i have sent a pm to you with details on my php5 configuration.

Thanks again :)

Thanks for the info. This is probably specific to your host but might help others to look for the information at their hosts too if ionCube loaders don't work at once.
