Resolved ioncube loader not loaded unable to install softacoulus extension

[MiTo]

Hi Folks

I tried to install Softacoulus extension but i got that error msg



So i tried to help myself with that:

IonCube loader is not available in PHP 7

but again:



no idea what is wrong, i followed the article step by step.

searched the forum aleady but didn't found any solution for me.

is there maybe a special position in the php.ini where i have to place the entry ?

What is version of PHP do you have enabled for domain where Softacoulus is installed?
Do you have line like

with the ionCube PHP Loader (enabled)

in the output of command

# /opt/plesk/php/x.x/bin/php -v

where x.x is version of your PHP?

 

[MiTo]

as the iocube package includes them i did that with all php versions in every php folder and ini...to make it sure

 

[MiTo]

But the server and plesk runs on php 7 vendor

But the server and plesk runs on php 7 vendor

No, Plesk itself has own internal PHP version.
But for vendor's PHP you can add ioncube loader if necessary.

 

[MiTo]

Well, as i said i did all as in the support article written. And i did it for each php version. The right loader version and made the entry in the php.ini as guided in the article.
But it doesn't get loaded at all...

 

[MiTo]

Btw.

Server runs on UBUNTU 16.04 LTS with Plesk 17.5.3 Update #5

It's a quite new and fresh installed server.

 

[MiTo]

is there another location of php.ini which plesk uses ?

 

[IgorG]

This article is about Plesk PHPs, but you are talking about

But the server and plesk runs on php 7 vendor

Vendor's PHP is /usr/bin/php
I see following on my test Plesk 17.5 version:

[root@vps-1034016-9640 ~]# /opt/plesk/php/7.0/bin/php -v | grep ionCube

Thx @IgorG for your help.
Sorry, i need a break...work already 11 h today. I am really done today...
I will post some more info and query outputs later on or tomorow. Softacoulus is not that urgent.

 

[MiTo]

Ok, could localize the problem i guess

While ioncube gets loaded in normal php 7.0.x

/$ /opt/plesk/php/7.0/bin/php -v
Cannot load the ionCube PHP Loader - it was already loaded

It seems that it doesn't get loaded in the vendor php 7.0.x which i guess is used by the softacoulus installer...

/usr/bin$ /usr/bin/php -v

I went to Tools & Settings - PHP Settings and checked every single php.ini and the command line was everywhere included. Just the vendor php doesn't load it.
Is there a special path where i have to copy the module for the vendor php ?

 

[IgorG]

i have to copy the module for the vendor php

It would be better to install appropriate php-ioncubeloader package from official OS vendor or third-party repository.

 

[MiTo]

Well...i'll try this and come back soon with the results...

THX

Hi MiTo,

consider to use => ***** The main PPA for PHP (5.6, 7.0, 7.1) with many PECL extens... : Ondřej Surý on Debian/Ubuntu - based systems. It's one of the best and well known additional source for PHP 5.6 + 7.0 + 7.1 and => Ondřej Surý is as well known for fast updates/upgrades and patches for all of his packages.

 

[MiTo]

Finally that worked great and without any issues....

How to install ioncube loader in Ubuntu 16.04

And of course the source is included now @UFHH01

Thx you guys for your help and hints.

 

[MiTo]

btw....seems the vendor php misses A LOT of extensions. I cannot install a single package from softacoulus....bcs it complains the lack of extensions such as myscipt, intl, zip....and so on... These extensions are all installed and work fine with all the other php versions. how can i switch plesk to use them instead ?

 

[IgorG]

Do you have these modules listed in the output of

# /usr/bin/php -m

?

 

[MiTo]

Nope...

the ionCube PHP Loader (enabled) + Intrusion Protection from ioncube24.com (unconfigured)

But in the non-vendor php 7.0.x they are all here so they are installed on the server.
They are just not loaded in the vendor version which means -that i learned with ioncube loader- there are no entries in 4 .ini files for the vendor version...

 

[MiTo]

is the vendor php provided by Ubuntu or Plesk ?

 

[MiTo]

is its possible to tell plesk o use another php version ? Or do i have to do all the updates and entries ?
