ionCube error when calendar used outside install directory

[pixeldrift]

I'm using the full version (6.3.24) of Easy PHP Calendar. Everything works fine if the file referencing the calendar is in the install directory, but if I try to use the calendar on pages in my root folder I get this error:

"The file /home/jeffers/public_html/calendar/functions/functions.inc.php has been encoded with the ionCube PHP Encoder and requires the free ioncube_loader_lin_4.4.so ionCube PHP Loader to be installed."

I know ionCube is fine because as I said, I have no problems with files within the "gallery/" directory. There aren't any typos in the code because this even happens even if I just take the demo.php file and move it to my public_html root (and updating the path, of course).

What could be causing that? And more importantly, how can I fix it? Thanks!

You most likely have a php.ini file somewhere that is causing it to not read the ionCube files. Can you get your host to install ionCube at the server level?
