Hi all,

I have this issue... I cannot install Ioncube loaders on Centos 6.6 and although I have tried the Wizard and to copy the ioncube_loader_lin_5.4.so, I still get the following error:

Please note that the following problems currently exist with the ionCube Loader installation:
The following ini file could not be found by the Wizard: Main ini file
The necessary zend_extension line could not be found in the configuration.
Please note also the following issue:
The correct loader for your system has been found at /home/xxxxx/web/zzzzz.xxx/public_html/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_5.4.so. You may wish to copy the loader from /home/xxxxx/web/zzzzz.xxx/public_html/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_5.4.so to /usr/lib64/php/modules.

# php -v
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib64/php/modules/ioncube_loader_lin_5.4.so' - /usr/lib64/php/modules/ioncube_loader_lin_5.4.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

At the Apache log I see this:

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib64/php/modules/ioncube_loader_lin_5.6.so' - /usr/lib64/php/modules/ioncube_loader_lin_5.6.so: undefined symbol: zend_execute_ex in Unknown on line 0

PHP Fatal error: Unable to start ionCube Loader module in Unknown on line 0


And when I do all the steps required to install ioncube (that is copying the .so file to the right location and adding the zend_extension line at php.ini, I cannot start Apache...

Anyone had this issue before? Any help is appreciated...

Tim

OK guys,

I managed to do it this way:
# yum install php-ioncube-loader

And now when I go to the Ioncube Loader Wizard page it shows that it works::
ionCube Loader Wizard
Loader Installed Successfully
The ionCube Loader version 5.0.7 for PHP 5.4 is installed and encoded files should run successfully.

Regards,
Tim

Nice, but on this forum was manual for this situation ;-)

Yes, you are right...! missed that... ;)

But still, I wonder why a manual installation throws errors and copying the .so file inside /usr/lib64/php/modules/ stops apache from being started, as I am copying the right file.

Ok, closed ;)
