Enable ionCube Support on GoDaddy

SHARE: Share

ionCube

According to GoDaddy, by default, ionCube support is not enabled on their Linux hosting accounts, but you can enable it.

Note: Windows hosting accounts do not support ionCube.

This is how to install ionCube on GoDaddy hosting:

1. Download the compressed Linux x86 binary file from ionCube’s site.
2. Create a new folder into the root and name it ioncube. Unarchive the compressed file and upload it into the newly created folder.
3. Now go back to the root of your hosting account and search for a php.ini or php5.ini file. If there is no such file, create it. If you are running PHP5, create a php5.ini file, otherwise create a php.ini file.
4. If you already had a php dot ini file search for [Zend], if not, add the text [Zend] to the top of the file.
5. To continue, you need to know the absolute hosting path. Now that you know it, add this line to the php dot ini file: zend_extension=/absolutepath/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_X.X.so
6. Save the file and enjoy!

Here is an example of how your new php.ini or php5.ini file should look like:

[Zend]
zend_extension=/home/content/xxxxx/xxxxx/html/viralinviter/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so
