Problem with IonCube Loader

[nomadant]

Ok, so I have BlueHost as hosting, followed the instructions to a T to install the script and when I go to the IonCubeLoader Helper file and click run time loading instructions here's the message I get:

Testing whether your system supports run-time loading...


Looking for Loader 'ioncube_loader_lin_4.4.so'

Extensions Dir: /usr/php4/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429 (NOT FOUND)


Results
The directory set for the extension_dir entry in the php.ini file may not exist, and run time loading will not be possible.

Instructions
Please ask your hosting provider or system administrator to create the directory

/usr/php4/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429

ensuring that it is accessible by the web server software. They do not need to restart the server. Then rerun this script. As an alternative, your host could install the Loader in the php.ini file.


What can be done about this?

Here is a link with instructions on how to setup Ioncube with Bluehost:

From what I have seen BlueHost has updated php since that was written and it does require a different loader file now. However the steps are the same.

If you still can not get it please submit a ticket with your ftp details and we will get it going.

Ok, I did as you said and it didn't work. Going to submit a support ticket but under the account that I registered with which is --cut--

Thanks for sending the information. I have now got it setup and going.

The problem was Ioncube has multiple loaders with the same name so you have to know the operating system. In your case I downloaded the files from http://www.ioncube.com/loaders.php which are for Linux (x86-64). After this I just uploaded the files and everything started working.

Ok that worked fine but I have another problem now which I put forth in a reply on the support ticket. Thanks for all your help.
