          1. ; priority=01

          2. [ionCube]

          3. zend_extension=/usr/local/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_5.5.so

        • Need for moving these ini file to : 

        • cp /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/ioncube.ini /etc/php5/mods-available/

• • • • after that

• • • • • php5dismod ioncube (if it's 20-ioncube.ini then php5enmod 20-ioncube)

        • php5enmod ioncube

        • then restart php5 and apache services
