CC and PHP problem need help with .htaccess file :(

[djcaseanova]

Okay, so I tried using PHP 5.3 and 5.4 on my site for other scripts, such as forum software, etc.. The issue is that I have CC 5.2.5 installed. I realized this morning 5.2.7 is released and I have not yet updated.

 

So, apparently, for me to run my forum software I need to be able to use PHP 5.4.x and Cubecart has me running 5.2.17 due to a CGI Wrapper. I wrote my tech support and this is what they told me.

 

---------------------------

Currently your site is stuck on PHP 5.2 because you've set up a
custom PHP CGI wrapper. Your .htaccess points to it here:

AddHandler php-cgi .php
Action php-cgi
/cgi-bin/dispatch.cgi-

What you're doing here is effectively overriding all of the PHP
configuration settings in the webpanel. You'll need to remove this to be
able to adjust the PHP version from the webpanel. Once you remove or
comment out these lines in your .htaccess, you'll see the site switch
over to 5.4.

Is there a way to fix this handler so that I can run PHP 5.4.x

 

Ioncube module is installed I believe if that should be of any help.

I'd suggest just giving what they said a try. Rename the ".htaccess" file to ".htaccess-24JAN14" to disable it. I think you will find everything switches to PHP 5.4 and all is fine.

 

If it causes problems just rename that file back again. If no changes are seen then you probably renamed the wrong file.

Tried renaming the file. When I rename the file, I get a blank white page trying to do anything with the store. However, at the time of renaming the htaccess file, the info does update to PHP 5.4 but lack the ability to have a Cubecart store

[Al Brookbanks]

That means that you have got to PHP 5.4 but ioncube isn't installed. I think in dreamhost you can enable ioncube with a click of a button.

 

Check this out: http://wiki.dreamhost.com/IonCube_Loader

I have ioncube installed. I used the ioncube loader wizard to install all the loaders up to 5.5. Still nothing has changed.

 

When .htaccess is in place, the phpinfo.php file reads PHP 5.2.17 and the store works fine, both before and after installing the latest ioncube loaders.

 

Renaming .htaccess gives me PHP 5.4.20 and have absolutely no ability to see the store. It gives me no errors, simply a white blank page.

 

Is there a configuration setting somewhere I should be looking at editing? It seems strictly related to the .htaccess file some how. The contents of that file are listed above and accurate. Do I need to add something to the htaccess file? I don't know much about htaccess files as I've never dealt with them outside of pre-installed scripts.

 

 

in the cgi-bin folder there is a php.ini file that says

zend_extension="/home/*******************.net/cgi-bin/ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so"

 

Even having changed this to something else made no differences.

In your hosting account panel, do you have access to any error logs? Can you enable any error logs?

[Al Brookbanks]

Well thats just the thing there are errors but CubeCart disables errors by default which is good for security. If you look in the PHP error log you should see the error. The error is probably that Ioncube isn't loaded. 

 

So keep the .htaccess renamed to disable it. Drop an "info.php" file into the public_html folder with the content;

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Load http://xxx.com/info.php in your browser and look out for any >mentions of ioncube. 

[djcaseanova]

This is what comes up in the phpinfo files when I have .htaccess named and renamed.

 

NOTE: This is not the entire info file, just the PHP related and IONCUBE/ZEND related areas.

Looking at the PHP 5.4.20 (.htaccess_renamed) phpinfo file it does NOT show IONCUBE installed.

 

With .htaccess full functional this is what phpinfo shows me

Additional Modules Module Name ionCube Loader

 

 

 

 

The problem is obvious, with .htaccess its loading a ioncube PHP Loader v4.2.2

 

I can not seem to get ioncube loaders updated properly. I've tried the loader wizard, the ioncube installer and nothing seems to be working.
