At the moment there seems to be a “bug” in ioncube and MAMP PRO installation. I have MAMP and MAMP Pro installed on a fresh Snow Leopard installation. The MAMP is working with the ioncube installed in the htdocs of my php application. If I change to MAMP PRO the application is not working and the error is that “ioncube is not installed”.

If somebody has a solution, please send me a mail to info at oglasi.com. Thanks in advance.

Ok,

i have found the solution. You have to edit the MAMP PRO php.ini file. How to find this file ? :-) It’s tricky,
but here is the solution.
When you start MAMP PRO go in the menu File-> Edit Template -> PHP5 php.ini . This is Command 4 on the keyboard and insert the line where you have installed ioncube at line 1085 or greater.
And please be sure the ioncube_loader_dar_5.2.so file is in that folder!

zend_extension=/usr/local/ioncube/ioncube_loader_dar_5.2.so

Yes, i have installed my ioncube in /usr/local/ and it’s working like sharm :) now. Bye.
