Installing the ionCube Loader

Step 1 - Download the ionCube Loader

wget http://downloads2.ioncube.com/loader_downloads/ioncube_loaders_lin_x86.tar.gz

Step 2 - extract it into a directory on your web root

cp ioncube_loaders_lin_x86.tar.gz /var/www/html
cd /var/www/html
tar -xvzf ioncube_loaders_lin_x86.tar.gz

Step 3 - go to the loader-helper page

Use your web browser and open up the following url:

www.yoursite.com/ioncube/ioncube-loader-helper.php

You should get an image that looks like this:

There's one link on the page. Follow that link for instructions on setting up ionCube from within php.ini

The instructions for me are as follows:

At this point, the instructions are very simple. Just add one line to your php.ini file:

zend_extension = /<path>/ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so

Now, of course, I'd rather move this extension outside of my web root to protect it from any funny business so...

cp -R ./ioncube /usr/local/ioncube

and then in php.ini

zend_extension = /usr/local/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so

Follow the edit up with a graceful restart:

apachectl graceful
