Edit: October 2013
The information below is provided for background information, but we would now recommend using the Loader Installer where possible as this automates the task.
>>> The Details <<<
Installing the ionCube Loader on a PHP 5 shared hosting account with GoDaddy is straightforward, and explained below.
* First, make sure that your GD hosting plan is on Linux. If you have a GoDaddy Windows hosted account, contact their support team and they should be able to switch you to Linux.
* Point the browser to one of the PHP scripts that you are needing to run. Without the Loader installed you should get an error message saying that the file /home/content/.../html/... needs the Loader, and saying which Loader is needed. The text in place of the dots is unique to your particular account setup. Take a note of the text from /home up to /html as you'll need that in the next step.
* Create a file called php5.ini and add the line Code: | zend_extension = /home/content/.../html/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_x.y.so | Use the path from the previous step, and the name of the Loader being requested. If you already have a php5.ini file, make sure that the line for the Loader is the first line in the file. Upload the php5.ini file to your html directory.
* Download the Linux Loaders, unzip and upload into a folder called ioncube in your html folder.
* Done correctly, Encoded files should now be working.
To summarise with an example
If you received an error saying that a script /home/content/p/o/d/podmaker/html/admin.php needed ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so, you should:
1) Create a file called php5.ini in the html directory with the line Code: | zend_extension = /home/content/p/o/d/podmaker/html/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so |
2) Upload Linux x86 Loaders to a directory called ioncube in your html directory. |
