Windows Hosting (Shared) on Godaddy

[ghoehn]

I have been struggling with the IONCUBE Loader and was wondering if I could get help here. I have my path and I have the php5.ini in the root but it continues to state that I do not have the ioncube dll file loaded.

Exact Error:
Site error: the file D:\Hosting\4444953\html\forsale\index.php requires the ionCube PHP Loader ioncube_loader_win_5.2.dll to be installed by the site administrator.

Here is my php5.ini file:
[zend]
zend_extension = D:\Hosting\4444953\html\ioncube\ioncube_loader_win _5.2.dll

Here is my help file display:
Analysis of your system configuration shows:

PHP Version 5.2.5
Operating System Windows
Threaded PHP No
php.ini file D:\Hosting\4444953\html\php5.ini
Required Loader ioncube_loader_win_5.2.dll

If someone could help me, it would be greatly appreciated...

Try changing your path in php.ini to this:
zend_extension = D:\Hosting\4444953\html\forsale\ioncube\ioncube_lo ader_win _5.2.dll

You may need to check Godaddy's support pages for this. I had to install 68 on their (linux) servers and it was not very straight forward. Essentially, in the php.ini file the first line needs to declare the zend_extension. Next you need the [Zend] in another line then a number of lines of code declaring extensions manager.optimizers.

These paths may be different on their Windows servers, but I do recall they had documentation for each of their server types to do this.

Once I did this line for line exactly as they say, it worked fine.

I found nothing on Windows shared hosting - only linux

Unless you have good reasons for using this hosting provider I would go to Hostgator where you will have no problems. Prices are fairly similar. Never had one problem with them.
