The ionCube PHP Encoder and optional licensing system is the one-stop solution for protecting PHP source code and other files from prying eyes, theft and change. For more information please visit IONCUBE homepage Installation steps … First change the directory to

cd /usr/src/

download the correct loader from

http://www.ioncube.com/loaders.php

OR Select the appropriate loader for your server

http://downloads2.ioncube.com/loader_downloads/ioncube_loaders_lin_x86.tar.gz http://downloads2.ioncube.com/loader_downloads/ioncube_loaders_lin_x86-64.tar.gz http://downloads2.ioncube.com/loader_downloads/ioncube_loaders_lin_ppc.tar.gz

then,

tar xzvf ioncube_loaders_lin* cd ioncube

Here you will find two php files, one is ioncube encoded one and other will give information regarding installation.The problem is that they use different names for the files during each update.. You can understand from its name … Use your imagination .. ..Copy those php files to a public_html … If you are using cPanel,

mkdir /home/some-user/public_html/iontest/ cp *php /home/some-user/public_html/iontest/

Open firefox or any browser,

http://server-ip/~some-user/iontest/

Click on the php files … One will give ioncube not installed error and other will give information regarding the loader to use and the location of "php.ini" to edit. Remember those … Next,

mv /usr/src/ioncube /usr/local/ Open php.ini (Got from one of those php we saw b4) vi /usr/local/php/Zend/php.ini Add the following line, just below "[zend]" zend_extension = /usr/local/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_4.3.so (Got from one of those php we saw b4)

Restart http

/etc/init.d/httpd restart

You can verify the installation using, http://server-ip/~some-user/iontest/ (Click the ioncube encoded php file) Thats all. Easy right ?? Thanks
