    Hi,

    I have a question regarding the installation of the 68 Classifieds script on a local test server (WampServer). Like others, the site side works fine but the admin draws a blank page. It seems others have sorted things out through their ioncube however no one provided instructions on how this is done. Looking at the 68 documentation I see: “Install ioncube through the php.ini file.” but nothing more. Would anyone be able to explain exactly how to install the ioncube through the php.ini file? I’ve tried multiple instructions found online but no luck.

    Hi Blair,

    I'm afraid I just get a blank page at that link. I substituted 68C for my local address.

    Something is definitely wrong with your installation if you are just getting a blank page at that address. I would try deleting the ioncube directory on your localhost installation and then replace it from your known good copy of the DL from 68 Classifieds customer download area or even download a new copy from 68C.

    If you are still having difficulty with it, then I would check with WampServer support. Ioncube is an industry standard and is used by literally thousands of scripts. On my MAMP install, it installs full ioncube support by default and I have never had any issues with it for 68C or any other script that uses ioncube.

    Guys,

    I'm using a clean install of 68 Developer-v4.2.1 and can see the ioncube-loader-helper.php file does exist within the ionbube folder. I've tried using WampServer and Xampp with the exact same result, a black page. Any ideas?

    Make sure error reporting is turned on. If it isn't, errors are suppressed and makes troubleshooting virtually impossible.

    The ioncube-loader-helper.php actually does already turn on error reporting, etc.
    PHP:
    ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
    ini_set('display_errors', 'On');
    After that, the file goes through an extremely thorough testing of the server settings and environment. It is for that reason that I suggested that either something was corrupt in the file itself or there is something wrong in the actual server setup.

    I can't say what is wrong, however I would sincerely recommend going through support of the localhost server setup software support. Something seems wrong in that regard.
