I looked trough some of the other threads but it didn't help I have my own vps, here is what i did: I downloaded the program via ssh wget http://downloads2.ioncube.com/loader_downloads/ioncube_loaders_lin_x86-64.tar.gz Code (markup): Unpacked the program tar -zxvf ioncube_loaders_lin_x86-64.tar.gz copied ioncube-loader-helper.php to my directory cp ioncube-loader-helper.php /home/admin/public_html Then opened the file on my site http://www.(mysite).com/ioncube-loader-helper.php moved the ioncube to a directory mv ioncube /usr/local edited the php.ini file pico /usr/local/lib/php.ini put in the following, just in the middle since there was nothing about zend_extension there... zend_extension = /usr/local/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so saved it restarted the server didn't work, so i went back, checked the php.ini file, restarted server again, still did not work, then went into whm and restarted server, still does not work... Any help? Thanks ahead of time
