Install ionCube Loader on a CentOS 7

by

1. Log in to your CentOS 7 VPS via SSH as user root

# ssh root@IP_Address

and update all installed services

# yum update

2. Run the ‘arch’ command in the terminal to check if your system is 32-bit (i686) or 64-bit (x86_64)

# arch
x86_64

3. In our case the system is 64-bit and we will download the 64-bit version of ionCube Loader

# wget http://downloads3.ioncube.com/loader_downloads/ioncube_loaders_lin_x86-64.tar.gz

4. If your system is 32-bit download the following archive

PHP Session test Script

by

I’ve just found a quality script to test php session- unless you’re in dark after some php.ini session tweaking done.

To check if sessions really work you can use this code:

<?php
// Start Session
session_start();
// Show banner
echo '<b>Session Support Checker</b><hr />';
// Check if the page has been reloaded
if(!isset($_GET['reload']) OR $_GET['reload'] != 'true') {
   // Set the message
   $_SESSION['MESSAGE'] = 'Session support enabled!<br />';
   // Give user link to check
   echo '<a href="?reload=true">Click HERE</a> to check for PHP Session Support.<br />';
} else {
   // Check if the message has been carried on in the reload
   if(isset($_SESSION['MESSAGE'])) {
      echo $_SESSION['MESSAGE'];
   } else {
      echo 'Sorry, it appears session support is not enabled, or you PHP version is to old. <a href="?reload=false">Click HERE</a> to go back.<br />';
   }
}
?>

Install ioncube on Linux server

by
  1. Begin by downloading the latest loaders to your computer from http://www.ioncube.com/loaders.php
  2. Extract the contents of the archived file on your local PC to a folder of your choice.
  3. Upload the folder IONCUBE via FTP to your domain webspace
  4. Now establish an SSH connection with server using a suitable client (e.g. Putty for PC’s or Terminal on Mac). This is usually done using the command: SSH rootusername@yourserver.com (you will then be asked for your password).
  5. You will need to browse to the public folder where you uploaded the IONCUBE directory (search internet for change and view directory commands in Unix).
  6. Move the ioncube folder to a permanent location by entering: mv ioncube /usr/local
  7. Next, you need to locate the php.ini file, to do this enter: locate php.ini – You should find it is in /usr/local/lib/php.ini. Now that you know the location of php.ini you need to edit it. pico /usr/local/lib/php.ini
  8. Now find where other zend extentions are in the file: ctrl + w: zend_extension
  9. Paste in your new line for ioncube loader: zend_extension = /usr/local/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_x.so (Replace x with your version of PHP eg. 4.4)
  10. Save the changes: ctrl + X then Y and enter
  11. Restart the web server to take effect: /etc/init.d/httpd restart

That’s it! Ioncube should now be installed & working on your server. To verify the installation was successful, check the PHP Info output for your server and you should see a new section which reads:
