Ioncube Runtime Loading / Loader
I purchased some PHP script that is encoded with ioncube.I am using a GoDaddy Linux/PHP shared server hosting account so I don't have access to the root files or php.ini. Therefore, I need to do "runtime loading" using the ioncube loader which hypothetically will let the files be decrypted as they run by accessing an ion decryption file I upload to the server.
Unfortunately, when I find the correct file (Linux x86, PHP 4.3.11), and upload it to the ioncube directory on the server, per instructions, I get a 500 Internal Server Error.
I don't know how to get around this - is it a problem with my hosting account? I assumed any account that ran PHP would have no problem with ioncube.
Also, the particular script I purchased has been used successful by others so I know the problem is not with the code itself.
Any ideas?? I am really at a loss. My next step is going to be changing hosts.
The exact error I get:
Internal Server Error
