ionCube Loaders available on Server?

[jelletse]

I'm working with php files and was told by a software rep that I have to enable ionCube loaders into my server.

Are they available in my Cpanel?

Thanks for any help.

Yes, the Ioncube loaders are already installed on Hostmonster servers. You will need to edit your php.ini file to enable them. Here are the instructions:

Thanks for your help! It didn't take much to install.

I changed the php.ini.default to php.ini as instructed and added it to the folder with the php file I want to work with.

It's software that has an "install.php" file that I'm supposed to access to register the software adding mysql database info etc..

I Googled my url/folder/install.php without success. What am I doing wrong?

Regards,

John

Type the url into your browser address box. Google won't have the url in their databases.

First of all... thanks for your support! The software support for this product is hit and miss.

I'm still getting the "site error" from my browser.

I'll start from the beginning. Maybe there's something I missed...

I downloaded the zip file for the social bookmarking software

unzipped and ftp'd the unzipped file to public_html

renamed it as "bookmarking"

Instigated the ionCube installation to public_html

renamed from php.ini.default to php.ini [I realized after this I already had a php.ini file in public_html]:confused:

moved php.ini [one of them] to the "bookmarking" folder

In my browser I search for http://myurl.com/bookmarking/install.php

Is there anything I'm missing?

What kind of php environment are you running?

HM allows PHP 4 (not recommended), PHP 5, PHP 5 (single php.ini) and PHP 5 (FastCGI).

The last two options allow all your site to run off of a single php.ini file and having multiple versions of this file in your directories, while not typically a bad thing, might be causing issues.

What exactly is the error you are getting?
What software are you trying to install?
Are you sure there is an "install.php" file in the bookmarking folder, or is it in another folder, like bookmarking/installation/install.php?

I'm running php.ini

Yes I do have 1 php.ini file on public_html

The other in my bookmarking folder which is where my install.php file is located

The product I'm using is RSS Bookmarker which is web based that's why I need to access the install.php to register my sql database / user / password and licence key.

When I try to search for http://myurl/bookmarking/install.php I get the same error "ionCube must be enabled" which has been completed.

Thanks for any help you can give me... John

I deleted that extra "php.ini" file and everything worked great!

Thanks to you both for helping me out!
