Which Version of php you trying to install, and what steps you are following ?Over 48 hours on a computer and am unable to successfully install the ionCube loader on my server, AWS EC2 running Ubuntu 22.4.

Yes. I have from PHP Version 7.1 to 8.2. I have tried the ssh with all the code provided online.What version of PHP?
Did you try manually trough ssh?
What tutorial did you follow?
cd ~
wget http://downloads3.ioncube.com/loader_downloads/ioncube_loaders_lin_x86-64.tar.gz
tar zxvf ioncube_loaders_lin_x86-64.tar.gz
cd ioncube
I followed this process but was never successful at the end.Which Version of php you trying to install, and what steps you are following ?
Step 1 – Download Ioncube Loader
First of all download the latest ioncube loaders php modules from ioncube from ioncube download page. Alternatively you can also use following command to download ioncube loaders. Also extract the downloaded archive under /usr/local directory.
wget http://downloads3.ioncube.com/loader_downloads/ioncube_loaders_lin_x86-64.tar.gz
tar xzf ioncube_loaders_lin_x86-64.tar.gz -C /usr/local
Step 2 – Find Correct PHP.ini
It is important to find the correct php configuration file (php.ini) to enable ionCube for that only. The php -i command provides you the details information about the active php version on command line interface.
You can grep the php.ini location by running command:
php -i | grep php.ini
Configuration File (php.ini) Path => /etc/php/7.4/cli
Loaded Configuration File => /etc/php/7.4/cli/php.ini
But, might be Apache have been configured with the another version of the PHP. To find that you need to put a phpinfo(); file on server web server document root.
By default PHP stored configuration files at the following location. For example, the configuration files for the PHP 7.4 are stored at below location
- /etc/php/7.3/cli/php.ini #for PHP CLI
- /etc/php/7.3/fpm/php.ini #for PHP FPM
- /etc/php/7.3/apache/php.ini #for PHP with Apache
Step 3 – Configure ionCube Loader in PHP
Now, edit the required PHP configuration files or you may update in all the configuration files found above. Append the below code to the end of the files based on your PHP version.
zend_extension = /usr/local/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_7.4.so
Make sure to replace /usr/local/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_7.23.so file path with your matching PHP version file.
Step 4 – Test Configuration
All done. You have added ionCube settings to your php configuration. To verify the configuration, type:
php -v
PHP 7.4.8 (cli) (built: Jul 13 2020 16:46:22) ( NTS )
Copyright (c) The PHP Group
Zend Engine v3.4.0, Copyright (c) Zend Technologies
with the ionCube PHP Loader + ionCube24 v10.4.1, Copyright (c) 2002-2020, by ionCube Ltd.
with Zend OPcache v7.4.8, Copyright (c), by Zend Technologies
You will see that ionCube PHP loader has been configured with your PHP version. Similarly, to view configuration for Apache use phpinfo() file.
wget https://downloads.ioncube.com/loader_downloads/ioncube_loaders_lin_x86-64.tar.gz
tar xvf ioncube_loaders_lin_x86-64.tar.gz -C /usr/local
Edit (vim|nano) /etc/php/7.4/fpm/php.ini
at the TOP of the php.ini file add
zend_extension = /usr/local/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_7.4.so
restart the PHP environment
systemctl restart php7.4-fpm
Edit (vim|nano) /etc/php/8.1/fpm/php.ini
at the TOP of the php.ini file add
zend_extension = /usr/local/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_8.1.so
restart the PHP environment
systemctl restart php8.1-fpm
/etc/php/7.4/cli/php.ini
/etc/php/8.1/cli/php.ini
sudo
in front of each command locate php.ini
command to see where are your filesthank you.try this way - a proper manual install
Code:wget https://downloads.ioncube.com/loader_downloads/ioncube_loaders_lin_x86-64.tar.gz tar xvf ioncube_loaders_lin_x86-64.tar.gz -C /usr/local
# this should be your php path if installed multi-php versions
For PHP 7.4
Code:Edit (vim|nano) /etc/php/7.4/fpm/php.ini at the TOP of the php.ini file add zend_extension = /usr/local/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_7.4.so restart the PHP environment systemctl restart php7.4-fpm
For PHP 8.1
Code:Edit (vim|nano) /etc/php/8.1/fpm/php.ini at the TOP of the php.ini file add zend_extension = /usr/local/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_8.1.so restart the PHP environment systemctl restart php8.1-fpm
If you want to use CLI php commands on encrypted files then edit these 2 files also
Code:/etc/php/7.4/cli/php.ini /etc/php/8.1/cli/php.ini
Note: I assume you're using root login with SSH, if not just usesudo
in front of each command
Second Note: just make sure when you edit php.ini files they have content and don't open a blank file. If file is blank uselocate php.ini
command to see where are your files
nano /etc/php/7.4/fpm/php.ini
/etc/php/7.4/fpm/php.ini
