How to setup IonCube with GoDaddy web hosting

[ryan]

GoDaddy doesn't support IonCube by default so it needs to be manually installed.

First, copy/move the "ioncobe" folder within the plugin folder to the root of your website.

Then open http://yourdomain.com/ioncube/ioncube-loader-helper.php in your browser. It should tell you that IonCube is not installed.

Now, you should have a php.ini or php5.ini file in the root of your site. Open that up and look for this section:


[Zend]
zend_extension=/usr/local/zo/ZendExtensionManager.so
zend_extension=/usr/local/zo/4_3/ZendOptimizer.so


Add a new line just below [Zend], like this:


[Zend]
zend_extension=<your root path here>/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so
zend_extension=/usr/local/zo/ZendExtensionManager.so
zend_extension=/usr/local/zo/4_3/ZendOptimizer.so


Substitute the "<your root path here>" with the physical server path to your web site. Not sure what is? Then do this:

1. Create a new file called phpinfo.php in the root of your site.
2. Put the following in the file:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

3. Open that file in your browser. In the very last table, called PHP Variables, find the variable $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']. That's the physical server path to your site. Use that path in the php.ini mentioned previously.

After all that, open http://yourdomain.com/ioncube/ioncube-loader-helper.php again and it should say that everything is installed successfully.

NOTE: If you try this with php.ini and it doesn't work, then rename php.ini to php5.ini and try it again.

Hi,
Thanks for the tutorial. When I open my php.ini file, it states:

rg_emulation=off

...and that's it. How should I proceed?

Thanks,
Chris

Try adding the entire [Zend] section as documented above.

Hi,
No luck. Here is what I wrote in the php.ini file. I found my root by running your phpinfo.php file (nice trick).

rg_emulation=off


[Zend]
zend_extension=</home/content/b/g/d/bgdaddy55/html>/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so
zend_extension=/usr/local/zo/ZendExtensionManager.so
zend_extension=/usr/local/zo/4_3/ZendOptimizer.so

Anyway, I tried it with and without the g_emulation=off and I also changed it from php.ini to php5.ini.

Any suggestions. Here is the url:
http://cafegov.us/ioncube/ioncube-loader-helper.php

Thanks in advance for your help.

Remove those < and > characters in the path.


rg_emulation=off


[Zend]
zend_extension=/home/content/b/g/d/bgdaddy55/html/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so
zend_extension=/usr/local/zo/ZendExtensionManager.so
zend_extension=/usr/local/zo/4_3/ZendOptimizer.so

[bgdaddy55]

That did the trick. Thanks for the help. Now, I'll try to upload a .csv file. Cross your fingers. :)

Does anybody know why I cant find my php.ini or php5.ini files? Where should I be looking? Or what am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

[ViperBite4]

This is my document root path and it doesn't look like any of yours

D:\Hosting\4471142\html\

What am I doing wrong here?

Is that a Windows box? If so then I'm stumped as to how to get ioncube installed on there. You may want to ping the makers and find out if that is the case.

Hello,
My account has a php.ini file that is executable. When I click on it for editing, I get only “rg_emulation = off” What can I do?

Hello,
The message received does not relate to my question.
Thanks,

[WFReviewAdmin]

Follow all the steps listed, but simply add this to the php.ini file right after the
rg_emulation = off

[Zend]
zend_extension=<your root path here>/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so
zend_extension=/usr/local/zo/ZendExtensionManager.so
zend_extension=/usr/local/zo/4_3/ZendOptimizer.so

Be sure to change <your root path here> in the above example with your actual root path!
