Xampp + wordpress + ioncube

e00c

Hey chaps,


I've set up wordpress locally to test/set up the site before uploading it. I've used Xampp to set up the local server. Everything works perfect, functions + plugins all great.... however


I've tried installing another plugin which requires ioncube. I have downloaded the ioncube loader... read the instruction's but don't understand it


It says:

ioncube wrote:

• Install ionCube loader to XAMPP at: C:\xampp\htdocs\<yourPMDfolder>\ioncube
• Open php.ini with your text editor. The file is located at C:\xampp\apache\bin\php.ini.

my directory set up is:

\xampp\htdocs\wordpress-site

What is "yourPMDfolder"?

Secondly, it says to edit the php.ini file in the apache\bin folder - there's no php.ini file in mine!

• You may also try C:\xampp\php\php.ini but previous reports mention this file does not work.

I've edited the above php.ini - but as stated... it doesn't work.

PCease

yourPMDfolder is part of PhpMyDirectory so you should install your ioncube binaries in the directory you have put PhpMyDirectory source code.

After making a change to your PHP you need to restart your web server (apache). You can do this from the Start->Program Files->Apache or whatever the installer for your XAMPP is.
