I'm trying to have ioncube running but I get this error:

php -v
Failed loading /usr/local/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_4.3.so: /usr/local/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_4.3.so: cannot enable executable stack as shared object requires: Permission denied

Any ideas?

yeah run: execstack -c full_path_to_library

that should fix it

Tried this fix Scott, but I still get the same error he is getting.

Scott's suggestion worked for me.

Fixed it by simply updating IonCube. I uninstalled all IonCube rpms. Then, just download the package from the official website, untar it, and follow the instructions in the readme file of IonCube.

I have just one problem left - I installed a package in YUM repository, php5-ioncube. When I try to remove it, I get the error:

/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.12995: line 19: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.12995: line 23: syntax error: unexpected end of file
error: %preun(php5-ioncube-3.0-rhas4.06112310.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 2

What can I do to remove it?

They might have a bad package there, can you give me the output of rpm -qf php5-ioncube? I can update ASL to add in a check for that automatically

Here it is:

rpm -qi php5-ioncube

And

rpm -ql php5-ioncube
/opt
/opt/php51/lib/php5
/opt/php51/lib/php5/ioncube_loader_lin_5.1.so


By the way, ionCube seems to work now that I have installed it manually - what could this broken rpm cause?

Great, thanks for the heads up. I added in the changes to the next gradm release to catch it.

Thanks a lot scott!

Hi, i'm having a problem with ioncube loaders, don't know wich library to load on php.ini. I need this due to load an installed centova package on system.

I have a fresh centos 5 64 bit, installed ioncube loaders using:

wget -q -O - http://www.atomicorp.com/installers/atomic |sh
yum install php-ioncube-loader

Installed centova and after that when i go to web panel see this:

<?php //0047c

if(!extension_loaded('ionCube Loader')){$__oc=strtolower(substr(php_uname(),0,3));$__ln='/ioncube/ioncube_loader_'.$__oc.'_'.substr(phpversion(),0,3).(($__oc=='win')?'.dll':'.so');if (!@dl(basename($__ln))) {$__oid=$__id=realpath(ini_get('extension_dir'));$__here=dirname(__FILE__);if((@$__id[1])==':'){$__id=str_replace('\\','/',substr($__id,2));$__here=str_replace('\\','/',substr($__here,2));}$__rd=str_repeat('/..',substr_count($__id,'/')).$__here.'/';$__i=strlen($__rd);while($__i--){if($__rd[$__i]=='/'){$__lp=substr($__rd,0,$__i).$__ln;if(file_exists($__oid.$__lp)){$__ln=$__lp;break;}}}@dl($__ln);}}else{die('The file '.__FILE__." is corrupted.

I think i just need to load the "os" file, right? wich one? how?

Thanks in advance

Did you restart httpd?

Yeah, twice, but no luck.

I also sent an email to centova support and this is the reply:

-------= Cut here =-------

Hello,

The screenshot you provided indicates that the contents of the PHP script are being sent by your web server instead of being processed by PHP. That means that PHP is installed incorrectly (or perhaps not at all) on your server. This has nothing to do with Centova Cast itself -- you'll need to get your systems administrator to your Apache/PHP configuration before Centova Cast or any other PHP script will work on your server.

-------= Cut here =-------

Please, can somebody help me ?

Many thanks.

This is the line i added to php.ini:

zend_extension = /usr/local/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_5.1.so

I am sure you fixed this by now...

but I had the same problem... and then realized I had selinux enforced...

i disabled selinux and was all good...

edit /etc/selinux/config then reboot

I can't remember how I did fix it, in fact, that was long time ago ... but thanks anyway my friend
