Using EasyApache to upload ioncube

[nootkan]

Hi guys, I just purchased a plugin that requires ioncube to work so I went into easyapache to do a custom build and check off ioncube 4.6.1 to be added to my default build. When I checked the ioncube box I received this message:

Are you fully aware of the implications of this option and able to administer it?

I am not aware of the implications so I did some research using google and the only issue I can see is that the extension has to reference php v 5.3.29 (my version) in my php.ini file. Something similar to

zend_extension=/home/content/39/9913339/html/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_5.3.so

Is there anything else that should concern me? Also will easyapache automatically add the extension reference inside my php.ini file or do I have to do it manually?

You can run below command to install IonCubeLoader in cPanel and it will automatically add the extension to php.ini

***
/scripts/phpextensionmgr install IonCubeLoader
***

Hello,

You can install ioncubeloader on your server with the following command

/scripts/phpextensionmgr install ioncubeloader

Hello,

/scripts/phpextensionmgr install ioncubeloader

Thanks 24x7, so you're saying that easyapache isn't the way to go? May I ask why? I'm seeing more threads in my research where ioncube 4.6.1 is causing issues with older versions of php like I have on my server so I want to make sure that it is a flawless install if that is at all possible.

After a little more research I found this great article that explained it a little more for me so I installed it using your suggestion 24x7 and it seems to have worked very easily. Thanks again 24x7

Yes, it's acceptable to use "/scripts/phpextensionmgr" to install Ioncube Loader.
