Issue PLESK 18.0.44 Ioncube loader 12 PHP 8.1

[paddaone1]

Server operating system version

Debian 9.13

Plesk version and microupdate number

18.0.44

Hello Everyone,
I have been trying to upgrade ioncube loader from V11 to V12 and it seems impossible.
I am running a dedicated server on debian 9.13, PLESK 18.0.44 and the only version of ioncube loader I can get is V11.
I ran the loader-wizard, downloaded the "right" version of the loader, replaced the file in /opt/.../php/8.1/... and still V11.
I followed instructions found in https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/...e-Loader-module-for-PHP-8-shipped-with-Plesk- but cannot find the manage PECL package anywhere.
Please help, my website requires PHP 8.1 and is empty because ioncube is not the right version. It runs fine on 7.4.30 PHP but I need the upgrade.
Thank you for your help!

I am not sure about compatibility, especially as you are on Debian 9 which is not supported by Plesk any longer. The PECL installer is not available in your outdated version, but available in Plesk 18.0.49 or newer.

Maybe you can try a manual install as described in this post: Issue - How to Install ionCube Loader for Plesk PHP 8.0?
