Comments on How to install Ioncube Loader on CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu

Many thanks, worked a treat!

Hi,

I get this error when entering php -v:

Failed loading /usr/lib/php5/20121212+lfs/ioncube_loader_lin_5.5_ts.so:  /usr/lib/php5/20121212+lfs/ioncube_loader_lin_5.5_ts.so: undefined symbol: ts_resource_ex

Failed: command not found

without the _ts is working...  thank you!

Hi,

I have problem,

when I copy        php -i | grep extension_dir      to console and hit enter:

bash-3.2# php -i | grep extension_dirCannot load the ionCube PHP Loader - it was built with configuration API220090626,NTS, whereas running engine is API220100525,NTSZend Guard Loader requires Zend Engine API version 220090626.The Zend Engine API version 220100525 which is installed, is newer.Contact Zend Technologies at http://www.zend.com/ for a later version of Zend Guard Loader.extension_dir => ./ => ./sqlite3.extension_dir => no value => no valuebash-3.2#

What now?

I have CentOS release 5.11 final  64bit.

Thanks, it was helpful

on Centos i don't needed to add following line 'zend_extension = /usr/lib/php5/20131226/ioncube_loader_lin_5.6.so'

I followed this to update my Centos / Php stack. I ran into problems that I cannot begin to understand. I document them at this thread:

https://community.magento.com/t5/Installing-Magento-2/Magento-2-and-PHP-load-errors/m-p/31893#U31893

What do you think is happening?

On Centos 7.2

I run service php-fpm restart and it gave me following error

Failed to restart php-fpm.service: Unit php-fpm.service failed to load: No such file or directory.

What should I do ?

The installation worked, however it doesn't show up in php -v but it does show up in phpinfo()

The instructions were very clear, thanks.

Thanks a lot, very helpful.

Thank you so much! You saved me!

Thanks for the tutorial.

Normally it will work, but when running applications remain alert to a higher version 5.1

Nice, thanks very much, use full for me..

my website showing error 500 because i added some code in theme function file , now i do not know how to remove that code and also it is direct install on digital ocean means i did not create any cpanel support team told me that this NGINX server. Edit Add topics

I followed the seteps all the way - went file but then at the end  when was ready to create the  file in the right directory i got message:

cp: cannot create regular file `/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20121212/ioncube_loader_lin_5.5.so': Permission denied

how can i get permission on my server?

I followed the tutorial to the letter but still can't get it to work. All the checks you suggested show that Ioncube is installed but when I go to the index page It shows the "The encoded file xxxxxxx is corrupt. in Unknown on line 0

Ubuntu Server 15.04

PHP 5.6

Thank you, it worked perfect.

Excellent guide.

Hi, I have a question, I'm installed ispconfig in ubuntu 18.04, I followed the installation guide, and I need to install softaculous, which I asked for ioncube.

In the ispconfig directory the system installs PHP7.2

I must add other versions of PHP 5.6 / 7.0 / 7.1

For different versions of wordpress.

My question is whether I should add the line

zend_extension = /usr/lib/php/20151012/ioncube_loader_lin_5.6.so

zend_extension = /usr/lib/php/20151012/ioncube_loader_lin_7.0.so

zend_extension = /usr/lib/php/20151012/ioncube_loader_lin_7.1.so

in each PHP version or with adding to 7.2 is enough

Thank you

Your x86 bit download link broken. what are you doing man ?. dam dam dam Fbi open the door.

Both links work fine for me. Maybe a temporary issue of the ioncube download server at the time you tried downloading it.

Thank you for the howto, wonderful very well put together. Lifesaver, thank you.

Thank you for the solution!

Many thanks, it worked for me!

thanks alot... works fine in my virtualmin - few changes i did... we should copy proper php version .so file to virtual server etc folder.

Hello everyone, I just made a script that allows you to install once. This script is intended for an installation in Debian 9.4 with Apache and multi php from version 5.6 to version 7.4, remind you that before executing the script you must have installed each and every one of the php versions mentioned otherwise The script could give problems I leave the written script so you can modify the modifications that you consider appropriate.

Thanks a lot. It works for me BUT I face some problems. 

I use VestaCP with multiPHP installed on Debian. While I change master php.ini from VestaCP, it'll overwrite on all php.ini in different php versions. so added line for zendguard that point to correct version of ioncube file will erase at all! :((
