- Upload ioncube_loader_lin_5.3.so file (if your server uses PHP 5.3) or ioncube_loader_lin_5.4.so file (if your server uses PHP 5.4) anywhere in your joomla folder.
- Create the /administrator/php.ini file and add these lines:
zend_extension=/path/to/ioncube/folder/ioncube_loader_lin_5.3.so //use the correct path
Note: If you are having troubles installing ioncube, download loader-wizard.zip file, extract the zip and place the loader-wizard.php file into the root of your site. Run that file and it will guide you through the installation process.
