[FIX] Common ioncube error

[int]

I'm running CentOS 5.4 x86, Kernel: 2.6.18-164, PHP 5.2.9

 

I spent a whole day trying to figure out the annoying:

"Site ___ requires the ionCube PHP Loader ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so to be installed by the site administrator." error

 

After trying everything under the sun, I finally did this to resolve it:

 

1) Add the ATOMIC repo to the YUM repository by issuing the following command as root:

# wget -q -O - http://www.atomicorp.com/installers/atomic |sh

 

2) Use yum to install ioncube_loader:

# yum install php-ioncube-loader

 

I didn't even have to "service httpd restart" after that. My php -q commands (in Crontab) all started to work immediately.

 

Hope this helps others!
