Do your web hosting packages support the SourceGuardian PHP Encoder?
May 22, 2009 – 07:39 by Support Staff
By default, SourceGuardian is not installed on any of our web hosting packages. However, that does not mean that you are not able to host any scripts that are encoded with SourceGuardian!
SourceGuardian does tell you to upload there encoders to the scripts folder and it will load the files as long the php function dl() is enabled as part of the installation. And unfortunately we have to dissapoint you once again, dl() is disabled for security reasons on all web hosting packages.
Below we will explain you how to get the scripts to run properly, this is possible since we run suPHP.
First you need to create a new .htaccess file in your public_html folder if you haven’t done already. Otherwise you need to edit your current .htaccess file.
In your .htaccess file under your public_html folder, add the following:
suPHP_ConfigPath /home/user/public_html
<Files php.ini>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>
Note: Make sure to change the user text above to your account user name.
Then create a php.ini file under your public_html folder and add the following (or edit the current file if you have a php.ini file):
extension_dir=/home/user/public_html/extensions
[Zend]
zend_extension=/usr/local/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so
zend_optimizer.optimization_level=15
zend_extension_manager.optimizer=/usr/local/Zend/lib/Optimizer-3.3.3
zend_extension_manager.optimizer_ts=/usr/local/Zend/lib/Optimizer_TS-3.3.3
zend_extension=/usr/local/Zend/lib/ZendExtensionManager.so
zend_extension_ts=/usr/local/Zend/lib/ZendExtensionManager_TS.so
extension=/home/user/public_html/extensions/ixed.5.2.lin
Note: Make sure to change the user text above to your account user name.
Zend Optimizer and IonCube loaders are added as well so you won’t drop the support for them with your new php.ini file.
Now create a new folder called "extensions" in your public_html folder and download the required loader at http://www.sourceguardian.com/ixeds/ixed4.lin.x86-64.zip
Then extract the zip file and upload the file "ixed.5.2.lin" to your created folder "extensions"
You may choose another folder to upload the SourceGuardian loader to but remember to have the folder name reflect the one you typed within your php.ini file.

Congratulations, you have just installed SourceGuardian in your web hosting account and your script should now run properly!
