IONCube Problem

Just uploaded VBseo and I am getting.

The file D:\*******\includes\functions_vbseo.php has been encoded with the ionCube PHP Encoder and requires the free ioncube_loader_win_5.1.dll ionCube PHP Loader to be installed.


Your test file showed that I can run ionCube.
I am on WinNT with PHP 5.1.2.

What should I do?

Nevermind, used the ionCube installer. Fixed the problem.

Are you running IIS or Apache?

Also, you can try downloading the loader from that link and installing it.

Hi There-

I'm migrating my forums from a Linux/Apache server to a Windows/IIS server (Windows 2003). I just got this error, too:

Site error: the file D:\inetpub\WEBSITES\www PHP testing\forums\includes\functions_vbseo.php requires the ionCube PHP Loader ioncube_loader_win_5.1.dll to be installed by the site administrator.

...I ran the ioncube installer for the loader on the server, but the issue is still occurring.

What am I missing? Is there another ioncube package that I should also be installing?

Any other server migration tips? So far I've simply exported my database from the old server, imported to the database on the new server, and copied over my entire directory structure.

Should I be doing anything differently?

Thanks,
Gabe

Make sure your PHP.INI is pointing to the updated version of the loaders you installed. (Or copy the loader files to directory called "ioncube" under your forums directory.)

Thanks for the quick reply and info, Keith. It looks like the loader files are already in forums/ioncube:

Hello Gabe,

you should download the windows Ioncube library from http://downloads2.ioncube.com/loader...rs_win_x86.zip and upload to ioncube/ folder at your server.
Another change in vBSEO installation is that you need ISAPI_Rewrite module installed at your server - this is a mod_rewrite alternative for IIS and you can get (free lite version) here: Helicon Tech - Download
You should install it and insert vBSEO rewrite rules from isapi_rewrite.txt (included in vBSEO package) into isapi_rewrite config file (httpd.ini).

Thanks, Oleg. I've followed all your steps exactly, and I'm still getting the same error. I even stopped and restarted the site via IIS.

I updated the httpd.ini in this location:

C:\Program Files\Helicon\ISAPI_Rewrite

I assume that's correct?

Anything else I can try?

thanks,
Gabe


P.S. It is running on a staging site, so I wonder if the non-standard port has anything to do with it?

The non-standard port should not be a problem. As I see from your test.php output, dynamic loading of Ioncube is not allowed at your host, so you have to install it manually in php.ini file with:
zend_extension ="C:\Path\To\Ioncube\ioncube_loader_win_5.1.dll "

Thanks, Oleg! That DLL shows up in 2 places:

D:\ioncube\ioncube_loader_win_5.1.dll
D:\inetpub\WEBSITES\www PHP testing\forums\ioncube\ioncube_loader_win_5.1.dll

Does it matter which one I use? I actually tried both in my php.ini file, which is here:

C:\WINNT\php.ini

I tried shutting down and restarting the staging site via IIS, but still no luck:

http://wwwstaging.articulate.com:1234/forums/test.php

Is there anything I'm missing? How do I ensure this is the proper php.ini file and how do I make sure the change is being used?

Thanks,
Gabe

Could you please open a support ticket with administrator RDC access for troubleshooting?

I'm back to working on my forums migration again, and have run into this issue again. The only thing that's changed on the server is that I've renamed the directory on my Windows server.

I've updated the path in my php.ini file to this:

zend_extension_ts="D:\inetpub\WEBSITES\WWW_2007\fo rums\ioncube\ioncube_loader_win_5.1.dll"

(There's actually not a space in "forums" above, but it keeps showing up in my preview of this post.)

I've stopped & started the site via IIS, yet I'm now getting this error:

Site error: the file D:\inetpub\WEBSITES\WWW_2007\forums\vbseo.php requires the ionCube PHP Loader ioncube_loader_win_5.1.dll to be installed by the site administrator.

And pretty much anywhere I try to access files under /forums:

What am I missing here?

Thanks again,
Gabe

Hello,

is ioncube library loaded corretly? (check this in phpinfo() output)

There's no reference to the ioncube library there. And your test.php file is telling me No for both Zend and ioncube... not sure what happened, but about to try Zend Optimizer installation again...

Just installed Zend and still seeing red light on Zend and ioncube. I see this in my C:\WINNT\php.ini file:

zend_extension_ts="C:\Program Files\Zend\ZendOptimizer-3.2.2\lib\ZendExtensionManager.dll"

I also have ioncube files on the server, and they were working fine previously, so I'm not sure what's happening now.

Suggestions?
