Hello,

Having a bit of trouble installing ioncube loader on a new dev environment on Win10 with Bitnami WAMP Stack (irrelevant but will include all environment variables).

php -v output

Code:

PHP 7.0.22 (cli) (built: Aug 1 2017 13:56:43) ( ZTS )
Copyright (c) 1997-2017 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v3.0.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2017 Zend Technologies
with the ionCube PHP Loader v10.0.1, Copyright (c) 2002-2017, by ionCube Ltd.
with Zend OPcache v7.0.22, Copyright (c) 1999-2017, by Zend Technologies

loader-wizard.php error:

Code:

The PHP version for the loader cannot be determined

IonCube encoded files output: (obviously)

Code:

The ionCube PHP Loader needs to be installed

PHP ini path for .dll

Code:

zend_extension = "C:\Windows\System32\ioncube_loader_win_7.0.dll"

Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.

SOLUTION

I did figure out what the issue was. So FYI for anyone else that has a similar issue installing this on Windows. Do NOT follow the recommended path to place the ioncube loader library in "C:\Windows\System32" as the documentation states. You will get this error as a permissions issue. It's better just to place it in your PHP installation folder and reference the absolute path for it. It should look similar to this:

zend_extension = "C:\PATH_TO_PHP_ROOT\ioncube_loader_win_7.0.dll"

Hope this helps someone else in the future.

The CLI output shows that the Loader is installed, so that's good,. If it isn't working for web pages then it may be that a different php.ini is being read. The best thing would be to contact ioncube support though so more information can be collected if necessary. _________________ Community Admin
