This has been the nightmare of all nightmares. For 4 days now I have been fighting to install ioncube loaders on godaddy. I am sure that I have uploaded the correct loaders, and I am using a zend extension line in a php5.ini file that is located in the public_html folder. The ioncube directory is also in the public_html folder.
It will all of a sudden start working and my info.php will show that the ioncube loaders are installed, but then after awhile it stops working. This has happened a few times and it would seem that the server isn't refreshing or something. For instance, when I try a zend extension, I refresh the info.php and try to run an encoded file, if it still doesn't work, I instantly try a different file path and do the same thing, and on and on it goes. So it would seem that one of the steps that I took actually did get it working - but that I just needed to wait for it to take effect? Is that possible?
The last time that it was working, my info.php was showing the configuration path as:
/home/content/30/4750330/html/http:/powersave3400.com/public_html/
and thats what I had for my zend extension. I am trying to retrace my steps as far as what I have named the file, where it has been and what zend extension I am using - but this is getting really frustrating. So I thought it was working when I had php5.ini in the public_html folder with the zend extension above - but then it stopped working, so prior to that I had it called php.ini (no 5), so thats what I am trying now.
So how long should I wait after I make a change to try something else?
According to godaddy, the absolute path would be (username-related) :
zend_extension=/home/content/s/a/v/savepower/html/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so
According to other forums, the absolute path would be(domain-related):
zend_extension=/home/content/p/o/w/powersave3400/html/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so
I am confident that the path is: /home/content/30/4750330/html/http:/powersave3400.com/public_html/
Because A) thats what the info.php file was showing when it was working, and B) When I run the ioncube loader assistant, it shows that it finds the loader there.
So I guess I just need advice on where to put the php file and what to call it. php or php5?
Currently I have been trying the public_html folder (which is where my ioncube directory is),
but the structure of my site is: http://www.powersave3400.com/http:/powersave3400.com/public_html
Should I be putting it higher up? If anyone else has run into this, I would love to hear how you dealt with it. Thanks in advance!
