How to Install a Custom or Older ionCube Loader Version

Starting with OpenPanel version 1.7.2, IonCube Loader is automatically available for all PHP versions that support it on new installations.

Older Versions​

If you want to downgrade to an older ionCube Loader bundle (or use a custom bundle) you can do so easily.

After placing the files on your server:

• For a single user: Edit their docker-compose.yml file and update the volume mount points for the php-fpm-* services so they reference your custom files.
• For all new users: Edit the template file located at /etc/openpanel/docker/compose/1.0/docker-compose.yml.

Check if enabled​

To confirm whether IonCube Loader is active for your PHP version, you can use any of the following methods:

From terminal run:

php -i | grep ioncube

Or create a file named info.php in your domain’s public directory with the following content:

<?php
phpinfo();

Then open it in your browser: https://yourdomain.tld/info.php

Look for IonCube PHP Loader in the output to verify that it is enabled.
