Hello,

Does the rest of your site work (ie: can you visit the admin pages, the user pages, etc)? If so, then you've likely suffered from the all too common problem of needing ioncube installed in the CLI version of php. This will vary from distribution to distribution, but here's a pretty generic 'howto' in order to get this started

#1: Login to your server (as root)
#2: cd /etc/php/
#3: go to your php version (some distributions have multiple)
#4: You should see something like apache (or php-fpm) and cli
#5: Edit cli/php.ini to reflect that you have ioncube installed (see the ini in apache, apache2, or php-fpm for the line you need)

From there you should be good to go.
