IonCube loaders need to be installed and enabled on your server. On some hosting packages ionCube is enabled by default, for other you can ask your host to install ionCube loaders for you, or you can do it yourself:
- download loaders packgage from ionCube website
- upload ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so file somewhere in your joomla folder
- edit /administrator/php.ini file, create it if not there, and put this inside it:
zend_extension=/path/to/ioncube/folder/ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so (use the correct path).
- if you are using the trial version of JReviews you will also need to place the php.ini file in the root / of Joomla
