How do I disable?

My site is completely down. I haven't changed anything (as far as I know - the web hosting company may have).

All the sudden, I'm getting the classic:
Site error: the file vbseo.php requires the ionCube PHP Loader ioncube_loader_fre_5.1.so to be installed by the site administrator.

The site was working this morning, and I made no changes to vbseo or ioncube.

At this point, I just want to disable vbseo to get my site back up. I deleted the .htaccess file, and I manually changed the VBSEO_ENABLED variable in config_vbseo.php to 0.

I still get redirected to the ioncube error message! I can't login to admincp, nor can I pull up any pages at all without being redirected.

I tried clearing the cache on my browser, etc.

What am I missing?

Hello,

Site error: the file vbseo.php requires the ionCube PHP Loader ioncube_loader_fre_5.1.so to be installed by the site administrator.

this message means that Ioncube loader is missing at your host for some reason.
To disable vBSEO temporarily, you can just remove all vBSEO files:

Code:

.htaccess
vbseo.php
includes/functions_vbseo.php

Thanks Oleg. Well it turns out my web hosting company moved servers last night (without notification, good times!). Ironically, I already had an SSH session open prior to the server move, and that's what I was working in (having no knowledge of the move). So, everything that I was changing to try and turn off vbseo temporarily was on the WRONG SERVER! Can you imagine how frustrated I was?

At this point, I have disabled vbseo, but I still need to resolve the ioncube issue. The files are still there, just as they were on the old server. My best guess at this point is that a change was made to php. The php.ini file is no longer in the location it was in on the old server. I ran the ioncube tester and it says:

Run-time loading is not currently possible.

Run-time loading was working fine before the server move, so obviously there was a configuration change. Does anyone happen to know specifically what needs to be set for runtime loading to be enabled? If I have this info, I can probably just ask my web host to make that configuration change.

Hello,

oh, this must be frustrating!

Please check the following points in your php.ini:
- "enable_dl" setting should be enabled
- "extension_dir" setting should point to existing directory (it's not necessary to be a folder with ioncube libraries though)
