Hi,

Sorry for the delay in response.

PHP 7.4 is supported. Can you delete the /usr/local/softaculous/ioncube.so and then execute the CRON command :
php -d open_basedir="" -d safe_mode=0 -d disable_functions="" /usr/local/softaculous/cron.php

This should download the appropriate ioncube file.

If you still face the issue please open a support ticket with us so we can check this issue :

That works but after some while (days)
again the message:

Site error: the ionCube PHP Loader needs to be installed. This is a widely used PHP extension for running ionCube protected PHP code, website security and malware blocking. Please visit get-loader.ioncube.com for install assistance.

But Jun 29 2020 ioncube.so is still there.

/usr/local/softaculous/php.ini
has:
zend_extension = "/usr/local/softaculous/ioncube.so"

php -v
PHP 7.4.26 (cli)

After rinning php -d open_basedir="" -d safe_mode=0 -d disable_functions="" /usr/local/softaculous/cron.php

It works again. The only change i see in the dirrectory is the date of ioncube.ver

any idees?

Hi,

I checked this further and I see that the ioncube.so in Softaculous directory is only loaded when the php.ini in Softaculous folder is loaded.

Can you please try the following command :
php -n -c /usr/local/softaculous/php.ini -d open_basedir="" -d safe_mode=0 -d disable_functions="" /usr/local/softaculous/cron.php

Let us know if this works.

so i do:

Quote

php -d open_basedir="" -d safe_mode=0 -d disable_functions="" /usr/local/softaculous/cron.php

Then softaculous works again for one day...

running this, gives me no output:

Quote

php -n -c /usr/local/softaculous/php.ini -d open_basedir="" -d safe_mode=0 -d disable_functions="" /usr/local/softaculous/cron.php
Cannot load the ionCube PHP Loader - it was already loaded
