Step 3. Installing ionCube loaders

Updated

This is step 3 of performing a full installation of Enterprise Server 9. (See a list of all steps)

Why is ionCube required?

For security reasons, Enterprise Server uses ionCube to encrypt some of its PHP modules.

Steps to follow

Note: ionCube consists of pre-compiled modules which are therefore dependent on the operating system, the platform, and the PHP version used.
Since Enterprise Server version 8, ionCube is no longer shipped as part of the Enterprise Server installation files. Instead, the recommended version is made available on the Help Center.

Step 1. Download the ionCube Loader package from the ionCube website.

Step 2. Extract the contents of the package somewhere on your system.

Step 3. In a Web browser, enter the following URL:

http://<your server URL>/Enterprise/server/wwtest

Note: It is assumed here that the folder of your Enterprise Server is named "Enterprise".

Replace <your server URL> by the URL for your server. For example:

http://localhost/Enterprise/server/wwtest

Depending on which version of Enterprise Server 9 is installed, continue as follows:

For Enterprise Server 9.0 – 9.4

The Health Check page appears.

Step 4. Click Clear All to clear the check boxes for all tests.

Step 5. Select the check box for the ionCube Version test.

Step 6. Click Test.

Step 7. Follow the steps as outlined in the test results.

For Enterprise Server 9.5 and higher

The installation of ionCube is automatically tested. During this process, you might see various progress bars appear. Depending on the result of the test, the following will happen:

  • The Health Check page appears. This means that ionCube Loader is correctly installed. No further action is required.
  • The ionCube Loader Wizard for Enterprise Server appears. This means that the ionCube Loader is not correctly installed or that an incorrect version is installed. The information provided on the page will give you an indication of the exact problem and how to resolve it.
