I am trying to install this script...

My host says it doesn't have ioncube loaders? Can I get around this or do I have to change hosts?

 

Can you ask your host to install this ioncube for you?

 

You'll have top change hosts if your current pone won't allow ioncube to be installed. Rather surprised as most hosts have ioncube already installed.

 

If ioncube isnt installed just upload the whole ioncube folder to the root of the hosting or the script it will work then

 

Can you do that? I though it had to be compiled into php? Or am I getting confused with Zend?

 

Yes its possible atleast it was till the last time i used it..and yes zend has to be compiled into php

Hmmm, you may be able to get away with it if your host allows the use of a local php.ini.

For step 5, I would move the directory elsewhere outside of your webroot. Depending on your host and the software they run, you may or may not have a /usr/local directory.
