php53u xcache install messes up ioncube

[Shawn]

I have installed php53u on centos 5.8 from the repo. I can install ioncube just fine and php -v gives me the correct output. When I install xcache then ioncube complains it is not first in /etc/php.ini. The problem is they are not loading loading from /etc/php.ini they are loading from /etc/php.d/. So if the system is working correctly ioncube would load first as it comes before xcache.

I know it is a problem with xcache as I have the zend guard loader installed and it works fine also.

 I have tried editing /etc/php.ini and telling ioncube to load before xcache and it did not work. (Yes I deleted the corresponding /etc/php.d/ entries first so they did not double load.)

OS = Centos 5.8

PHP = 5.3u

Packages = php53u-5.3.18-1.ius.el5.i386, php53u-ioncube-loader-4.2.2-1.ius.el5.i386, php53u-xcache.i386 0:3.0.0-1.ius.el5

Steps to reproduce problem = Just install the packages is all I have done.

Thank you for the bug report Shawn,

I have confirmed this bug also effects me internally:

# rpm -q php53u
php53u-5.3.18-1.ius.el5
[root@CentOS5-5-IUS-testing ~]# rpm -q php53u-ioncube-loader
php53u-ioncube-loader-4.2.2-1.ius.el5
[root@CentOS5-5-IUS-testing ~]# rpm -q php53u-xcache
package php53u-xcache is not installed

[Jeffrey Ness (jeffrey-ness)]

So the issue here is our Xcache package is build as a stand alone module
not a Zend extension.

I believe this article explains:

   http://havokmon.blogspot.com/2011/07/freebsd-64bit-php-53-ioncube-zend.html

[Jeffrey Ness (jeffrey-ness)]

So Version 3.0 of Xcache is no longer a Zend extension:

   http://xcache.lighttpd.net/wiki/Release-3.0.0

[Jeffrey Ness (jeffrey-ness)]

Since 3.0 no longer is a Zend extension it appears the two have issues with each other,
if you require both Xcache and Ioncube-loader I would use a 2.0 Xcache found in our Archive repo:

Okay that makes sense. I will use the repo's version 2.0 until I upgrade php.

Thank you Jeff.

[Jeffrey Ness (jeffrey-ness)]

A new bug report has been created with upstream Xcache:

   http://xcache.lighttpd.net/ticket/294

[Shawn (slackersu)]

Thank you again Jeff, seems they don't think sometimes when they do things.

[Jeffrey Ness (jeffrey-ness)]

According to http://xcache.lighttpd.net/ticket/294 this has been fixed in the latest svn trunk.

[Jeffrey Ness (jeffrey-ness)]

The latest svn 3.0.1 trunk has not yet been marked stable,
3.0.0 is still the latest stable:

    http://xcache.lighttpd.net/#Downloads

Once 3.0.1 is moved over to stable we will package it for the IUS Community.

That is good news. Thank you for keeping me updated Jeff.

Hey Shawn,

A new version of xcache just got released and release notes state improve compatibility with "the ionCube PHP Loader", Zend Optimizer:

http://xcache.lighttpd.net/wiki/Release-3.0.1

I have build it and it has been tagged as test-candidate. It will be in placed in the testing repos tonight and can take around 24 hours to hit all the mirrors.

See the following for information on how to use the testing repo:

Sounds good thank you for the update Ben.
