Thanks Woody and Eric
That was a great help – For the past two days I was exchanging emails with the 1and1 support team and their responses were quite sketchy! Your post help resolve the issue
Cheers

Hi Woody & Eric,

Thank you so much guys.

I’ve had problems getting ioncube to work in 1and1 BUT I followed both your comments about putting the php.ini file in every folder imaginable and finally got it working.

Really appreciate that coz the FAQ at 1and1 is rubbish!!!

Cheers

yeah the php.ini needs dumping in almost every associated directory (depending on the php setup on the host) – on 1and1 for example the php.ini needs to be in the plugin folder, the plugin folder of the plugin itself and sub folders of that!

Its worth pursuing though 😉

wordpress users who have plugins that need ioncube (or zend, for that matter), should try putting that php.ini file in /wp-admin/ . This is because wordpress calls various plugins this area. Whatever the issue, my advice: Keep trying…these PHP Decoders are notorious beasts to install…
