I have built a site using the PHP easiForm suite which worked perfectly attached to my site hosted by ineedwebhosting (excellent host btw).
I have now uploaded to the clients host - a virtual private server with Amen (new to me and absorbing way too much of my time trying to understand it but apparently required as the form will need SSL). The form now fails to work due to ioncube loader problems. I have followed the ioncube helper page, got Cyberduck, found the php.ini file via SSH (also new to me) downloaded it and edited as advised, that is I added
“; zend_extension = //ioncube_loader_lin_5.1.so” with path as usr/httpdocs/. ( httpdocs is the directory where all the site is uploaded to from freeway.)
Have I wrongly edited the file or even got the wrong file to edit? I feel as though I am in area I should not be and may foul everything up.
Would it be simpler to not use the PHP easiform and avoid ioncube altogether and opt for Tims feedback form action?
If you left the semicolon at the beginning of the line, then you have
added the configuration line, but commented it out. Try removing just
the semicolon at the beginning of the line and test again. Also, don’t
forget to stop and start the Web server after making changes at the
php.ini level. I always forget to do that, and then wonder why nothing
is affected…

Yes, the line should be follows for your server:
zend_extension = //ioncube_loader_lin_5.1.so
No "; at the start. If you go to the ioncube-loader-helper.php page in
the ioncube folder with your browser it will show you the exact line
to use.
Also it should be the first zend_extensions line if any others exist,
it not it can go at any point in the ini file.

Thanks for the help. Have removed the ; Still have problems but will visit my local cody guy tomorrow who seems to know about this stuff and is French too which is an advantage with Amen.fr If he is flumoxed I will be back. Beats me why these things are so easy chez ineedhosting but so baffling in more expensive and fancy deals. Talking of which does any one know why one should be using a VPS with a Plesk Panel - what does it bring to the party that a regular hosting packet doesn’t apart from, in my case, grief?
