When installing and using Sanplex Standard, Premium, and Enterprise editions, installing the corresponding PHP version of the ionCube extension is required. If you deployed Sanplex using the one-click installation package, the ionCube extension is already included by default.

If the ionCube extension is not installed, you will see a prompt like the one below when accessing your Sanplex site.

I. Download the ionCube Loader Wizard

ionCube provides a setup wizard that conveniently detects your PHP runtime environment and automatically generates tailored installation instructions.

Download the wizard here: https://www.ioncube.com/loader-wizard/loader-wizard.zip

After downloading, extract the file into your Apache www or htdocs directory, or directly into the Sanplex www directory (for example, sanplex\www\loader-wizard.php).

Step 3: Click to download the 00-ioncube.ini file. As instructed by the wizard, move it to the /etc/php/7.2/fpm/conf.d directory, and then restart php-fpm.
