Where is the usr/bin directory?

[clever1]

Hi
I'm trying to install ioncube and in order to put the ini file I must put it in the usr/bin area. In my ftp it only shows my website directory and not the core or root part.
Could someone point me to a solution on how to find this directory and how to add the ioncube ini file?

Here is my approach for php 5.6... please adjust your files with your version number

iconcube loader for PHP 5.6
============

Code: Select all

php -i | grep extension_dir
/usr/lib/php5/<extension dir>

Code: Select all

nano /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

Code: Select all

#	under section-> Dynamic Extensions

zend_extension = /usr/lib/php5/20131226/ioncube_loader_lin_5.6.so
zend_extension = /usr/lib/php5/20131226/ioncube_loader_lin_5.6_ts.so

copy the above two files from ioncube pkg into the path specified above.

# check loaded extension via PHP file

Code: Select all

<?php
echo var_export(extension_loaded('ionCube Loader') ,true);
