版本升级后的PHP致命错误

Question

I upgraded PHP version from 5.6.8 to 5.6.9 by Custombuild of Directadmin. The problem is after that I got fatal error on php:

PHP Fatal error:  [ionCube Loader] The Loader must appear as the first entry in the php.ini file in Unknown on line 0

I found there is a file /usr/local/lib/php.conf.d/10-directadmin.ini that has this line:

zend_extension=/usr/local/lib/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_5.6.so

After I remove this line, there is no error but the Ioncube is not working.

What can be the problem? Thank you.

Answer 1

Edit: For completeness, there was indeed an issue between XCache and the ionCube Loader. ionCube has since released a new Loader version with a workaround to this issue (v 5.0.7).

As the first errors indicates, the ionCube Loader has to be the first zend_extension loaded by PHP. Removing the line

zend_extension=/usr/local/lib/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_5.6.so

disables the ionCube Loader, so you won't have access to its features (such as running ionCube encoded files).

To fix the error, copy this deleted line to the top of your main php.ini file; if you don't have any zend_extension entries in your php.ini file, you can also try to load your config file /usr/local/lib/php.conf.d/10-directadmin.ini first, eg by renaming the file to 00-directadmin.ini . Just make sure that the zend_extension line for the ionCube Loader comes before any other zend_extension entry.
