Did you ever get this working?

I had some old notes on ioncube from 2015.  I've updated them to work w/ SME 9.2 and posted them on github -
https://github.com/mmccarn/smeserver/blob/master/Install%20IonCube.php%20on%20SME%209.2.md

This command block successfully loads or updates ioncube on a virgin up-to-date SME 9.2 system for the default PHP (v5.3.3):

Code: [Select]

mkdir -p ~/addons/ioncube
cd ~/addons/ioncube
'rm' -rf ioncube
'rm' *.zip
wget http://downloads3.ioncube.com/loader_downloads/ioncube_loaders_lin_x86-64.zip
unzip ioncube_loaders_lin_x86-64.zip
'cp' -f ioncube/*5.3* /usr/lib64/php/modules
chmod a+x /usr/lib/php/modules/ion*5.5*
#
# create  /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/php.ini/15ioncube
mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/php.ini/
echo 'zend_extension                         = /usr/lib64/php/modules/ioncube_loader_lin_5.3.so' \
> /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/php.ini/15ioncube
expand-template /etc/php.ini
sv t httpd-e-smith

I've added instruction on the github page for making ioncube work with other versions of php installed using software collections:

Nice!

Moving away from the wiki?

Ioncube is available on remi repo

Moving away from the wiki?

I like to keep notes as I do things, which is easier outside the wiki.  I've been using etherpad-lite for this for years - but I don't like publishing links to my home-hosted etherpad-lite so I've started putting the notes into markdown files on github - that's all.

I consider it a tool for organizing my thoughts, not a replacement for the wiki.

Ioncube is available on remi repo

Admins should be able to install it for any selected version of php (php73 in this example) using:

Code: [Select]

yum --enablerepo=remi-safe install php73-php-ioncube-loader
signal-event php-update

That's easier than a running a pile of scripts *or* creating a template fragment for the default php53. Thanks!
