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:

download loaders packgage from ionCube website
upload ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so (if you have php 5.2) file somewhere in your joomla folder
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

if you are using the trial version of JReviews you will also need to place the php.ini file in the root / of Joomla
