CentOs 7 WMCS显示500 http错误。 由ionCube Encoder进行PHP 5.6编码，无法在PHP 7.1下运行

Question

I migrated my WHMCS from a virtual machine to a full centos running machine, i am experiencing trouble when trying to view any on the WHMCS directory. It displays a

This page isn't working

192.168.1.4 is currently unable to handle this request. HTTP ERROR 500

I went into SSH and viewed the /var/log/httpd/error_log to find a relevant error.

**[Sun Oct 29 09:51:43.886770 2017] [php7:error] [pid 5951] [client 192.168.1.8:25937] PHP Fatal error:  The file /var/www/html/client/index.php was encoded by the ionCube Encoder for PHP 5.6 and cannot run under PHP 7.1.\n Please ask the provider of the script to provide a version encoded with the ionCube Encoder for PHP 7.1. in Unknown on line 0**

The confusing thing is, i am running ioncube 7.1 on php 7.1. But for some reason the server does not think so.

I did a php -v

    [root@new-host-7 ~]# php -v
PHP 7.1.10 (cli) (built: Sep 30 2017 10:30:04) ( NTS )

    with the ionCube PHP Loader (enabled) + Intrusion Protection from ioncube24.com (unconfigured) v10.0.3, Copyright (c) 2002-2017, by ionCube Ltd.

In my php.ini file i told it it to use ioncube 7.1 :

zend_extension = /usr/lib64/php/modules/ioncube_loader_lin_7.1.so

And if i create a info.php page on my webserver i receive a successful response:

PHP Version 7.1.10

What is causing the log to say that i am using different versions?

Answer 1

From WHMCS System Requirements page: WHMCS 7.x supports PHP 5.6 and 7.0

You'll need to use PHP 7.0.X for WHMCS to work.
