Install error with ionCube ...

[carver]

I downloaded the www.easyPHPCalendar.com calendar and love it.
However, it won't install on my computer (server "localhost" using the PHP/Apache server) with the error message:
"The file C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\calendar\setup\index.php has been encoded with the ionCube PHP Encoder and requires the free ioncube_loader_win_5.2.dll ionCube PHP Loader to be installed."

I have installed the ionCube Loader ( including the file
ioncube_loader_win_5.2.dll) in the same directory as the calendar.
Also a copy of ionCube is in the folder above the calendar folder in htdocs (local server).

I also added the following line to the php.ini file:
zend_extension_ts = "C:/Program Files/xampp/htdoc/ioncube/ioncube_loader_win_4.3.dll"
Is this correct for a windows XP and PHP Version 4.3?

Also, I note that I have three php.ini files - one in the xampp/Apache/bin folder, another in the xampp/php folder and another in the xampp/php/php4 folder. Which one (or ones) do I add this line?

What am I doing wrong and what specifically needs to be done to get the calendar installed ready to custom design in Dreamweaver CS3?

Unfortunately we can't provide support for configuring/installing Zend or ionCube on servers. Your best bet is to contact ionCube directly.

Thank you, Brian. I guess I was hoping you all would know how to install the calendar since the calendar design requires the use of ionCube.

I have tried to get through to ionCube without success, so will have to look for another calender altho I love this one.

We know how to install the calendar... But we can't be responsible for properly configuring the server to run Zend or ionCube.

ionCube is generally pretty fast and responsive when support requests. I'm sure they can help you when they respond to your ticket.

Ok, you're saying it says it requires the ioncube_loader_win_5.2.dll (which means you downloaded the calendar encoded for PHP5) and then for the php.ini, you have one of those file in a folder xampp/php/php4 (which would mean you have PHP4)...

Make sure you install the Tester script and download the version of the calendar that it recomends. That way, you'll be certain that you have a version of the calendar that is compatible with your server.
