ioncube problem

[Zion Ahead]

I enabled ioncube 4.4 on my php 4.4.4. box and now all php sites started showing this for example

"500 Internal Server error"

error log it states:
Premature end of script headers: /home/user/public_html/forum/index.php

I have phpsuexec enabled as well.

Why would this happen?

php.ini

[Zend]
zend_extension_manager.optimizer=/usr/local/Zend/lib/Optimizer-3.0.1
zend_extension_manager.optimizer_ts=/usr/local/Zend/lib/Optimizer_TS-3.0.1
zend_optimizer.version=3.0.1
zend_extension=/usr/local/Zend/lib/ZendExtensionManager.so
zend_extension_ts=/usr/local/Zend/lib/ZendExtensionManager_TS.so

zend_extension = /usr/local/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_4.4.so


That file is there too

Assuming you have the permissions correct, and your icon loader matches your installed php version, make sure that the ioncube loader line is first in the list, example:

[Zend]
zend_optimizer.optimization_level=15
zend_extension=/home/kernow/public_html/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so
zend_extension_manager.optimizer=/usr/local/Zend/lib/Optimizer-3.2.0
zend_extension_manager.optimizer_ts=/usr/local/Zend/lib/Optimizer_TS-3.2.0


zend_optimizer.version=3.2.0
