The other day I needed to install ionCube Loader for encrypted PHP code to run on a CentOS Linux server but was initially unable to find a repository that included the php-ioncube-loader RPM package. After a couple minutes I remembered that I had previously used the Atomic repo to install PHP Zend Optimizer and so I thought I would check that repository to see if an ioncube RPM package was available as well. Below I display the search for a repository that includes an ionCube Loader RPM package along with installing the package on a CentOS Linux server.
At first I logged into another server that already had the Atomic yum repository already installed to search for an ioncube package as displayed below. I accomplished the below with minimal output to verify the Atomic repo provided the php-ioncube-loader package by having all repositories disabled except for the atomic repository.
Search Atomic Repository For ionCube Loader RPM Package:
- [root@dev ~]# yum whatprovides *ioncube*
- Loading "allowdowngrade" plugin
- Loading "fastestmirror" plugin
- Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
- * atomic: www4.atomicorp.com
- filelists.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 263 kB 00:00

After verifying that the Atomic repo does include the php-ioncube-loader RPM package I needed to install the Atomic repository on the new server. You can install Atomic on CentOS or other Linux systems using the Yum Package Manager by using the below syntax.
Install Atomic Yum Repository On CentOS Linux:
- [root@dev2 src]# wget -q -O - http://www.atomicorp.com/installers/atomic |sh
- Atomic Archive installer, version 1.1
- Configuring the [atomic] yum archive for this system
- Installing the Atomic GPG key: OK
- Downloading atomic-release-1.0-11.el5.art.noarch.rpm: OK
- The Atomic Rocket Turtle archive has now been installed and configured for your system
- The following channels are available:
- atomic - [ACTIVATED] - contains the stable tree of ART packages
- atomic-testing - [DISABLED] - contains the testing tree of ART packages
- atomic-bleeding - [DISABLED] - contains the development tree of ART packages
Now that the Atomic repository is installed on your Linux server you can move forward with installing the PHP ionCube Loader package by using the syntax below. It is likely that there will be some other PHP dependencies installed along with the php-ioncube-loader RPM package so don’t be alarmed if multiple packages are installed at the same time.

Notice that in my scenario PHP was also upgraded so be careful if you do not want to upgrade PHP during the process of installing the php-ioncube-loader RPM package.

Hello Chodok,
Not sure what you mean by the comment. If you have a question or comment let us know. Regardless we appreciate you using our site and taking the time to post feedback.
Thanks.
alex
Looks good, used this and it worked so thankyou.
Hello Alex,
No problem. Great to hear. Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback.
Thanks.
alex
By doing it this way, do I still have to edit the php.ini? or does this take care of everything?
Hello Jen,
I believe it does everything automatically for you which you can verify by looking for “ioncube” in the php.ini file and in the /etc/php.d directory to verify that the ioncube extension is being loaded. Could you verify and let us know the results?
Thanks.
alex
Followed the directions and it went smoothly. :) I looked in the php.ini file and nothing showed up with ioncube in it. In the /etc/php.d there was a ioncube.ini though
Hello Jen,
Great. I thought it would be in one of those locations automatically but just wanted to hear someone verify that so I appreciate you taking the time to do so! Thanks again.
Thanks.
alex
Thanks veyry much for this… Glad I found this. Soooo much better than having to compile stuff which I tend to try and avoid on my centos server :0

Hello Pete,
It doesn’t look like you have the atomic repository installed. Did you follow the instructions in the article? Please provide the outputs of the following two commands…

Hello Pete,
Well you definitely are not going to be installing ionCube without the atomic repository since that is the entire point of the article. Looks like you are typing “y” instead of “yes” to install the Atomic repo.
Thanks.
alex
I did just press “y”.
However, I seem to have done that part installed correctly now, this is the final output, Ioncube still has an issue:

Hello Pete,
Please settle down with the comments. If you spend a little time trying to figure out how to accomplish installing the package you will likely have some success.
Thanks.
alex
Forgive me, I was just trying to give you as much information as possible.
I guess I’ll just try to figure it out.
Thanks again,
Pete.
Hello Pete,
No problem. The ioncube loader package is i386 and not x86_64 so you might try the below if you haven’t gotten it working already.
yum install php-ioncube-loader.i386
Hope that helps. You can also try “yum list *IONCUBE*”.
Also on QD comments there is a reply button so a single thread can be continued and it doesn’t clutter up all of the comments when replying back and forth on a single topic.
Thanks.
alex
