Zend Guard Loader. It is possible to install?

[SalvadorS]

Hello,

I have a server with Debian 64bits, Plesk 10.4.4, PHP 5.3.3

I downloaded Zend Guard Loader from zend.com webpage and followed the instructions to install it.

I added these lines to my php.ini

[Zend.loader]
zend_extension=/usr/local/lib/zend/ZendGuardLoader.so
zend_loader.enable=1
zend_loader.disable_licensing=0
zend_loader.obfuscation_level_support=3
zend_loader.license_path =

And then restart apache

The problem is when I restart apache, CPU usage goes to 100% and the server does not work. I have to edit again php.ini, disable the Zend Guard lines and restart apache again.

So my question is

Does anyone install Zend Guard Loader in a box with Plesk 10.4.4 and php 5.3.3?

How?

Thanks a los

I have a similar but different issue. Rather than have CPU climb to 100% I get seg faults.

I have opened the discussion over on Zend's forums as well in the event that it is an issue with their product but has anyone found a way for a Plesk 10.x, PHP 5.3, RHEL 6 server to use Zend Guard Loader?

Hello,

I fixed myself the problem. Here you have the steps to fix it.

The problem is with the load of ioncube and Zend Guard Loader. To fix it edit the file:

/etc/php5/conf.d/ioncube-loader-5.3.ini

And add the line:

zend_extension=/usr/local/lib/zend/ZendGuardLoader.so

Below the line

zend_extension=/usr/lib/php5/20090626/ioncube_loader_lin_5.3.so

(I asume you install ZendGuardLoader.so in /usr/local/lib/zend path)

Then restart apache

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

And done!

php.ini?

must the

include path stay in the php.ini or must it removed?
