Hello, I own a VPS package. I know how to install IonCube on my server, but I was wondering if there is a way to install it system wide, so that I do not have to individually install the software in each of my websites sub-directories? Sorry if this is a stupid question, but this is my first VPS! THanks
A quick search lead me to this. http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=568689 If you are uncomfortable installing it, you might want to hire someone to do it for you
You WILL require root access to the server in order to do this. 1. Download the latest loaders to your computer from http://www.ioncube.com/loaders.php and upload them to your webspace 2. Move the ioncube folder to a permanent location by entering: mv ioncube /usr/local 3. Next, you need to locate the php.ini file, to do this enter: locate php.ini 4. You should find it is in /usr/local/lib/php.ini. Now that you know the location of php.ini you need to edit it. pico /usr/local/lib/php.ini 5. Now find where other zend extentions are in the file. ctrl + w: zend_extension 6. Paste in your new line for ioncube loader zend_extension = /usr/local/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_x.so (Replace x with your version of PHP eg. 4.4) 7. Save the changes ctrl + X then Y and enter 8. Restart the web server to take effect. /etc/init.d/httpd restart That's it! Ioncube is now installed on your server! You should now see a section in your PHP Info page that says: Additional Modules Module Name ionCube Loader Easy as that
