Hello, thanks for your reply.
I tried the below command but it didn’t work.

ion-php81812×247 91 KB

bash <(curl -Ls https://raw.githubusercontent.com/erenaksoy/lsws-ioncube-installer/main/install.sh)

read below post to get it work

Which article are you talking about?
I read all the posts, but I can’t solve this error.

@zaku here is the solution

Check your extension directory for your default assuming php 8.1 is default php -v

php -i | grep extension_dir

Try this :

sh <(curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/josephgodwinkimani/cyberpanel-mods/main/php_ioncube_install.sh || wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/josephgodwinkimani/cyberpanel-mods/main/php_ioncube_install.sh)

Confirm using php -v you wil get something like:

Hello, thank you for your reply.

When I ran the first command, I got the following output;

When I run the second command, I see the same error again;

Now i get you. You are using CentOs. Here is a fix for you:

$ cd ~ && wget https://downloads.ioncube.com/loader_downloads/ioncube_loaders_lin_x86-64.tar.gz

$ tar -xvf ioncube_loaders_lin_x86-64.tar.gz

$ cp --verbose ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_8.1.so /usr/local/lsws/lsphp81/lib64/php/modules/

$ echo "zend_extension=ioncube_loader_lin_8.1.so" >> /usr/local/lsws/lsphp81/etc/php.d/01-ioncube.ini

$ service lsws restart && service lscpd restart 

File error message.

I have edited that line please check again.

That path is for ubuntu distros only

I am using CentOs 7. Again the file error output.

Post the contents of ls /usr/local/lsws/lsphp81/

bin etc include lib64 man share tmp

Post the contents of ls /usr/local/lsws/lsphp81/etc/

php.d php.ini php.ini.rpnew

Post the contents of ls /usr/local/lsws/lsphp81/etc/php.d/

Do you have 01-ioncube.ini in that list?

If you do rUn

echo "zend_extension=ioncube_loader_lin_8.1.so" >> usr/local/lsws/lsphp81/etc/php.d/01-ioncube.ini 

No 01-ioncube.ini does not exist.

Run

$ cd ~ && cp --verbose ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_8.1.so /usr/local/lsws/lsphp81/lib64/php/modules/

need slash before usr > /usr
echo “zend_extension=ioncube_loader_lin_8.1.so” >> /usr/local/lsws/lsphp81/etc/php.d/01-ioncube.ini

I did it now but no output. What’s next?

Thanks @zaku for your input on the silly mistake

echo "zend_extension=ioncube_loader_lin_8.1.so" >> /usr/local/lsws/lsphp81/etc/php.d/01-ioncube.ini

service lsws restart && service lscpd restart 

I did, there is no output, but there is no error.
And I restarted the service.

Does it need to work now? I couldn’t find it in php extensions in cyberpanel.

RUn this php file under the website you are using php8.1

<?php
if(extension_loaded("IonCube Loader")) {     
  echo "IonCube Loader is Installed";
}
else {
  // No
}
?>

Kindly consider Ubuntu 20.04 LTS or AlmaLinux 8.4 they are more stable with CyberPanel.

I set the php version of the website I am using to 8.1. When I did this before, I was getting the warning that ioncube installation is required. But now the error is:

“Oops!
Something went wrong and we couldn’t process your request.
Please go back to the previous page and try again.”

Error: Call to a member function cssInjector() on null in

(The website works fine in version 7.4.)

Setting up a server from scratch right now will take some time, but I’ll do it at the appropriate time.

“Oops!

Looks like a drupal, or whichever php framework/cms you are using, only issue. I always recommend my clients to use PHP7.4 and below. PHP8-8.1 has not been fully tested for production in my perspective. It is still buggy.

Have you tried to fix permissions for that website?

Now I tried to fix the permissions but it didn’t work. I guess I need to ask the software developer the reason for this error as well.

How can I verify that the ionCube installation has been successfully installed? I couldn’t find this from the cyberpanel php extensions page. I will send it to the software developer.

easiest way to check

/usr/local/lsws/lsphp81/bin/php -v

# /usr/local/lsws/lsphp81/bin/php -v

This file did not work;

Great confirms it is installed succesfully.

So why is the php file not working?
Could I have done wrong somewhere?

Let me test it. It should actually work. But if you are running another framework in same path it may refuse to read that file

Thanks again for your help.
Have a nice day.
