ionCube

IonCube loader needs to be installed and enabled on your server. On some hosting packages it is enabled by default.

If ionCube is not enabled on your server, you can ask your host to install it for you, or you can do that yourself:

1. download loaders packgage from ionCube website
2. upload ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so file (if your server uses PHP 5.2) or ioncube_loader_lin_5.3.so file (if your server uses PHP 5.3) anywhere in your joomla folder
3. create the /administrator/php.ini file and add these lines:

zend_extension=/path/to/ioncube/folder/ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.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.
