ioncube for Softaculous Direct Admin

How to install ioncube in Direct Admin ?
I need it for installing Softaculous
where is the php.ini ?
I am using CentOS 5.4 64bit

 

It's pretty easy. The toughest part is where to add in the info into the php.ini file. From a shell, do the following:

cd /usr/local/src
wget http://downloads2.ioncube.com/loader_downloads/ioncube_loaders_lin_x86-64.tar.gz
tar xvf ioncube_loaders_lin_x86-64.tar.gz
mv ioncube /usr/local

Code (markup):

Now, the tough part. Default location for the php.ini file in DA is /usr/local/lib/php.ini. So, lets use an editor and we need to add a line.

nano /usr/local/lib/php.ini 

Code (markup):

Start looking for the zend_extension section. Add this line in prior to it:

zend_extension = /usr/local/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_xxxx

Code (markup):

xxxx would be your php version. Once done, save it, and you should be all set.
