@li9-hst_web-services,

Typically ioncube version is specific to the PHP version being used.

What version of ioncube and php are you using presently?

Ioncube loader can be downloaded from their website at

Home - ionCube PHP Encoder - The best PHP code protection with enhanced...

I am using PHP 8.3 which the screen does not show. (without FPM)

Linux (32 bits) or Linux (64 bits) ?

[li9-hst_web-services]

Linux 5.14.0-503.40.1.el9_5.x86_64 on x86_64

[li9-hst_web-services]

dnf install php83-php-ioncube-loader (OK)

[jimdunn]

So if you have multiple versions of PHP on your server… can you install ALL of the ioncube loaders for each version and are the ‘php.ini’ files correctly configured??

[li9-hst_web-services]

The installation of the ioncube loader follows each version of PHP.

Thanks for the quick reply… I did an “apt search ioncube” for Debian 11, and got no results. : (

Yeah, same here. Didn’t help the thread title was “iocube”.

You should not expect to find proprietary software in the Debian repositories. That is explicitly prohibited by Debian policy. There is a “non-free” category of software that covers things like firmware and binary blobs needed for hard to operate, but proprietary software like ioncube loader will never appear in Debian repositories.

I don’t use the software so I didn’t go too far down that rabbit hole.

I think I’ve read, that at least for installs, they are going to loosen up a bit. Making the user look for firmware (that they might not even know they need) was a bit much, even for the Debian folks.
