Installing ionCube

From The Uniform Server Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

First thing is that you have to download the program from the loader download page. (.zip)
If still using PHP 5.0.0 - 5.0.2, download the PHP 5 loaders at the end of that page rather than the top ones. Do not download the bottom ones for PHP 5.0.3+!

Installation

  1. Uncompress the package using WinZip or any other uncompression software.
  2. Copy the ioncube_loader_win_X.X.dll to your PHP extensions folder.
    Note: The X.X stands for your PHP version number!
  3. Navigate to /usr/local/php/ and edit the php.ini file and add this line before any other zend_extension line (there should be none if you have not installed it)
    zend_extension_ts = /usr/local/php/extensions/ioncube_loader_win_X.X.dll
    Note: Make sure X.X is the same thing as your PHP version number!

Finalization

  1. Restart the server.
  2. Copy the ioncube-encoded-file.php file into your /www directory.
  3. Test it and see if it works.
