Hi guys,

I am getting following error after i have compile apache 1.3 with php4(dso) & php5(cgi)

[email protected] # php -v
The ionCube PHP Loader is disabled because of startup problems.

Any ideas why this happen?

If you upgrade cpanel the problem will be fixed itself. One of the latest cpanel updates fully messed up cpanel internal php.ini.

That is not a true statement. Just add the appropriate line for your version of the ioncube/php loader in the php.ini for the php version you have the error for.

For instance

zend_extension=/etc/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so

is what would be used for php 5.2 in the Zend area of the php.ini

Also keep in mind if you use a php.ini override file, you must include the zend section or it will drop ioncube from your default setup.
