I am in middle of ionCube installation but php configuration is missing zend_extension for ionCube but not specify what is exactly

I am working on CentOs

All well Thanks:)

    You should add it in your `php.ini`. – j0k Feb 07 '13 at 07:02
  • @jok : yes so what is it and how there's no hint I could go through the response is : _Please note that the following problem currently exists with the ionCube Loader installation:The necessary zend_extension line could not be found in the configuration._ – TED Feb 07 '13 at 07:06

There were few things I have missed

Select the correct bit release

Match the Loader with your PHP version, e.g. for PHP 5.3, ioncube_loader_lin_5.3.so (extensions are inside the folder)

Add 'zend_extension = /usr/local/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_5.3.so' to php.ini

Restart the server

There are 2 parts to the solution that worked for me:

  1. symlink the 00-ioncube.ini file into the conf.d directory from the mods-available directory. Do not simply copy the file into the conf.d as the loader-wizard suggests.
  2. Restart the fastcgi daemon off and on as well as the apache daemon

See my blog post for more details.

I had the exact same problem with installing on Ubuntu. Ubuntu wants a soft link from /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/20-ioncube.ini to /etc/php5/mods-available/20-ioncube.ini. I tried THAT after following the directions given and apache restart failed with this error: "PHP Fatal error: [ionCube Loader] The Loader must appear as the first entry in the php.ini file in Unknown on line 0" in the error log /var/log/apache2/error.log

The solution that worked for me was to delete the soft link and to add the line from /etc/php5/mods-available/20-ioncube.ini ("zend_extension=/usr/lib/php5/20121212/ioncube_loader_lin_5.5.so") to /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

Possibly of note, I removed spaces on either side of the equals sign.

Apache restarted successfully and clicking the test link in the loader script page resulted in a success message as did subsequent script execution in my development environment dependent upon ioncube.

Actually ioncube needs its own ini files in php.d directory. Ioncube read its own file with the name of 20-ioncube.ini file.

So to do this we need to create vi /etc/php.d/20-ioncube.ini and add text: "zend_extension = /usr/lib/php/modules/ioncube_loader_lin_5.3.so" in it. Now reload php-fpm and browser. Ioncube will find zend framework now.

  • Incorrect. PHP reads the .ini fies, not the ionCube Loader, which only runs as a *result* of PHP reading a php.ini file. – Nick Mar 24 '20 at 21:51

You can try to execute my install ioncube script in my gist, install_ioncube.sh

Or manual install follow the official wizard in other script

# run-loader-wizard.sh

curl -O https://www.ioncube.com/loader-wizard/loader-wizard.tgz
tar zxvf loader-wizard.tgz

cd ./ioncube
php -S localhost:8000

# open http://localhost:8000/loader-wizard.php
