Installing Pinnacle Cart on Godaddy shared hosting. Require IonCube 5.2so
We have been trying to install ecommerce platform Pinnacle Cart on GoDaddy Shared hosting .
If you will run into the same problem where it will tell you that IonCude version has to be installed by site administrator you should follow these step and you problem will be solve.
In case like mine where godaddy will tell you that they can’t help you since godaddy do not support installation and you have to contact the company who sold this software than you should not worry and install by your self.
Go to IonCube website and download the ionCube version that you missing, in most cases if your website is on Linux hosting account than you need version x86 and here is the link:
http://downloads2.ioncube.com/loader_downloads/ioncube_loaders_lin_x86.tar.gz
Copy the ionCube library to the ionCube folder in shop(store) directory.
Locate the php setting file ( php.ini or php5.ini).
In some cases you will not find this file, than call godaddy and ask them to reinstall your php. After that you will be able to find the php.ini file in root directory.
Copy this file on your desktop and simply edit by adding one string to it.
Before any zend_extension lines add this line of code
zend_extension=/<path to your library> (in my case for example home/content/e/b/i/websitename/html/shop/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so )
Rename the file php.ini to php5.ini if you running on php version 5 and upload to the server.
From this moment you can complete your installation either Pinnacle Cart or other applications that require the ionCube library.
Tips: You also can use check if the file ionCuBe is exist in the folder by simply typing your shop folder/ionCube/ioncube-loader-helper.php .
I Hope this is will help anyone who will run into the same problem to solve the issue with installing ionCube on Godaddy shared hosting.
