Login as admin fail - Error message "The includes/global.inc.php file has no value for the 'encoder' parameter. This needs to be set to 'zend' or 'ioncube'."

[ultimate R. S.]

Dear all,

On Year 2010, I've installed Cubcart-online-Shop for one of my customer. Now the administrator cannot log in his shop. Error occured with

"The includes/global.inc.php file has no value for the 'encoder' parameter. This needs to be set to 'zend' or 'ioncube'."
Can someone say to me, what can be the issue of this failure?

Thx in advance

Welcome ultimate R. S.! Glad to see you made it to the forums.

Please determine the version of CubeCart you have installed (examine the file /ini.inc.php).

For the same major version, please download the latest minor version from CubeCart's download site.

The latest minor versions have removed the need for, and the checks for, licensure (encoding).

If you do not want to upgrade to the latest minor version's complete codebase, at least replace just the index.php and admin.php files.

I cannot say how, suddenly, the /includes/global.inc.php file is now missing a value for the ['encoder'] setting.

I have the same issue: After editing ini.php and adding  

disable_functions =exec,passthru,shell_exec,system,proc_open,popen,curl_exec,curl_multi_exec,parse_ini_file,show_source,pcntl_exec  for security and

editing global.inc.php to change the admin folder and file name

$glob['adminFile'] = 'admin.php';
$glob['adminFolder'] = 'admin';

I am unable to login to admin as the old /admin or the changed admin name. I then returned the global.inc.php

back to the above initial/original and am still unable to login with shop/admin or shop/admin.php and unable to turn bold text off. php.ini remains with the above changes.
