Fix error message IonCube not enabled when installing softaculous cPanel and adding key

ionCube Loader is not loaded. Please enable it to continue installation

When installing softaculous, it says IonCube is not enabled.

Step 1: Server Configuration > Tweak Settings > Find the keyword loader, select ioncube then Save

Step 2: After turning on IonCube, install softaculous and check the IonCube version

cd /home

wget -N http://files.softaculous.com/install.sh

chmod 755 install.sh

./install.sh

/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/php -v

Step 3: Add key to softaculous and update cron

cd /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi/softaculous

./cli.php –license YOUR_LICENSE_KEY

./bin/cron.php

Note the case

The system is trying to run cli.php as a shell script, while cli.php is actually a PHP file. Since the file does not have a shebang line (#!/usr/bin/php) at the beginning, the command ./cli.php will be treated as a bash script.

Step 3.1: Add key to softaculous and update cron

php cli.php –license YOUR_LICENSE_KEY

php cron.php

Step 4: Check if the key has been activated successfully

We have just completed the steps of the Guide to fix the error message IonCube is not enabled when installing softaculous cPanel, here we can continue to install and use popular CMS (WordPress, Joomla, Magento, Laravel, forums, wikis, CRM).
