Ioncube installation on Windows 2003 VPS

[mitch2k]

Hey,

 

I have a Virtuozzo Win2k3 (x64) VPS with Plesk 9.2

I wish to install WHMCS, but for that, I need Ioncube offcourse

 

So I ran the Ioncube installer from http://www.ioncube.com/loaders.php (the Windows (x86) version), installed it to following path:

c:\parallels\plesk\additional\pleskphp5\extras\

 

so the path of the ioncube_loader_win_5.2.dll is

 

c:\parallels\plesk\additional\pleskphp5\extras\ioncube\ioncube_loader_win_5.2.dll

 

I added the following line:

 

zend_extension_ts = c:\parallels\plesk\additional\pleskphp5\extras\ioncube\ioncube_loader_win_5.2.dll

 

and this both in:

c:\windows\php.ini and

c:\parallels\plesk\additional\pleskphp5\php.ini

 

I rebooted the server, but still the phpinfo () doesn't show ioncube to be loaded, and WHMCS is not working.

 

Anyone has a clue what I do wrong?

 

thanks!!

There are numerous questions that need to be asked to get an accurate picture of what is going on. I use Server 2k8/IIS 7 myself so I'm somewhat familiar with your installation.

 

Most likely you may have the wrong loaders for your environment, or possibly configured in the wrong php.ini.

 

First, I see you're on a 64 bit platform; you are not using any of the x64 php builds are you? IonCube doesn't support x64 on Windows at all.

 

Second, you're loading the thread-safe extension, are you sure you're using thread-safe PHP? You aren't using non-threadsafe PHP with FastCGI by chance? (A very fast way to run PHP on windows BTW)

 

Third, you're not using PHP 5.3? There is no Ioncube support on Windows for the 5.3 releases as of yet.

 

Finally, do you have any PHP caching extensions installed? Disable those and try again.

 

 

If all else fails, contact Ioncube support, they may get back to you in the same day if you're lucky.

Hey,

 

thanks for the help on the first place.

 

I have uploaded phpinfo. Maybe you can check some info for yourself: http://www.webcanyon.be/info.php

 

I used the Windows x32 installer. My OS is x64, but I think it should work, not?

 

I'm using the thread safe PHP 5.2, but I have FastCGI enabled.

 

I opened a ticket with Ioncube. I hope that I get a fast response.

I found the problem

My loaders seems to be ok, but I forgot the quotes in the php.ini, according to this topic:

I used the quotes, restarted IIS, and works like a charm now.

 

Thanks!
