ioncube issues

I have a script encoded with ioncube
but on my script it shows

Site error: the file /var/www/web1/classes/setupclass.php requires the ionCube PHP Loader ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so to be installed by the site administrator.

although in php.ini i have mentioned
zend_extension=/usr/local/lib/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so
in the first line

in the php.ini other refernce to szend is
; Enable compatibility mode with Zend Engine 1 (PHP 4.x)
zend.ze1_compatibility_mode = Off


echo phpinfo() mentions

Code:

Variables
_SERVER["argc"]	0
_ENV["PATH"]	/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
_ENV["PWD"]	/usr/local/lib/ioncube

Environment
Variable	Value
PATH 	/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
PWD 	/usr/local/lib/ioncube
LANG 	C
SHLVL 	1
_ 	/usr/sbin/apache2

What can be done in order to run the encoded script

 

Do you use the correct php.ini?
Does /usr/local/lib/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so exist?

 

yes the .so file exists in that path and i have verified the php.ini using the phpinfo() function

 

What's the output of

Code:

ls -la /usr/local/lib/ioncube/

?

 

drwxr-sr-x 2 root staff 4096 Sep 6 15:40 .
drwxrwsr-x 4 root staff 4096 Sep 6 17:53 ..
-rwxr-xr-x 1 501 users 982084 Jul 4 2007 ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 501 users 1034212 Jul 4 2007 ioncube_loader_lin_5.2_ts.so


the above is the output

 

Do you use a 32 or 64bit OS, and is the IonCube loader for 32/64bit?
