Module ‘ionCube Loader’ already loaded in Unknown on line 0

December 5, 2010 by Steven 2 Comments

Here’s a ‘possible’ solution to the ionCube Loader problem that worked for me. At one point in time I installed DBG so that I could do remote debugging using PhpEd. It worked ok, but I didn’t see a need for it, however I never uninstalled the Zend DBG debugger extension. When trying to work through the problem of getting ionCube from causing some problem I noticed that when I had the line:

zend_extension = /usr/local/ioncube/ioncube_loader_fre_5.2.so

in my php.ini file, my:

#php -m

PHP Warning:  Module 'ionCube Loader' already loaded in Unknown on line 0
The ionCube PHP Loader is disabled because of startup problems.

[Zend Modules]
the ionCube PHP Loader

and

#php -v
PHP Warning:  Module 'ionCube Loader' already loaded in Unknown on line 0
The ionCube PHP Loader is disabled because of startup problems.

with the ionCube PHP Loader v4.0.0, Copyright (c) 2002-2010, by ionCube Ltd., and

with out the zend_extension config it was:

#php -m

[Zend Modules]
DBG

and

#php -v
Failed loading ioncube_loader_fre_5.2.so:  Shared object "ioncube_loader_fre_5.2.so" not found, required by "php"

Which is quite puzzling in it’s own regard. Why does adding it remove DBG? NFI!

Since I currently do not use DBG I just yanked it out.Problem Solved… For me at least.
