The Ioncube loader is a free PHP module to load files that were protected with the Ioncube Encoder software. We use IonCube encoder to protect VTiger extensions and all the hardwork we put in them. The procedure to install IonCube is fairly simple and takes less than 5 minutes.
If you have a dedicated unix server and have control of apache/httpd, all you need to do is download the ioncube loader and add a line to a php.ini. Here’s an excellent step by step guide
Shared Servers
If your VTiger is hosted at hostgator, godaddy, dreamhost, siteground, etc.. shared plan – it is your best bet to either contact the hosting provider and ask to enable IonCube loader, or search for instructions on their wiki/help site.
If your VTiger is hosted on Windows server – you can download IonCube loader setup file and install using the install wizard. Complete details available below:
