[BUG] 12.5.x ZendGuard and ioncube fails

[Elompenta]

I use the additional Plesk PHP Interpreter Versions php5.2 - php5.6 as fcgi with activated ioncube extension.

If I add the ZendGuard Loader via vhost php ini settings the vhost doesnt work

zend_extension=/<dir>/ZendGuardLoader.so

Reason is that the ioncube extension must load before zendguard loader

This workarounf works:
- deactivate Plesk own ioncube Extension
- add the following to php.ini

zend_extension=/usr/lib/php5/20100525/ioncube_loader_lin_5.4.so
zend_extension=/<dir>/ZendGuardLoader.so

Yes, that's correct ...

Thanks for comittmend - But Plesk ioncube extension doesnt respect, that zendguard must be load before.

How i get the information that the Plesk Dev Team has recognized this bug and have list them to the Roadmap?

As far as I know Plesk or without Plesk, ioncube MUST be loaded before any Zend otherwise, it doesn't work...
Some NON plesk instructions below will tell you the same

Do you have read my initial post? :-D
I've wrote the same - But if we use Plesk it doesnt work out of the box - only with special configuration

So it must be fixed in the Plesk Backend

Hello,

You should enable ZendLoader extension server wide, not per virtual host site. For instance for plesk-php53 on CentOS 6:

# tar -zxf ZendGuardLoader-php-5.3-linux-glibc23-i386.tar.gz
# cp ZendGuardLoader-php-5.3-linux-glibc23-i386/php-5.3.x/ZendGuardLoader.so /opt/plesk/php/5.3/lib/php/modules/
# cat<<EOT > /opt/plesk/php/5.3/etc/php.d/10-zend-loader.ini
zend_extension=ZendGuardLoader.so
EOT
# /opt/plesk/php/5.3/bin/php -m
...
zlib
