Zend and IonCube

[sdwhite]

After a server reboot last night, I am getting the "Zend Optimizer Not Installed" page.

We moved this installation to a Red Hat Linux host running Zend and IonCube about a week ago and it was running okay. This is a PLESK 8.3.0 installation and it requires that IonCube be loaded before Zend in the INI files. They are loaded through two files in /etc/php.d one called ioncube.ini and the other is zend.ini. Here's the contents:

ioncube.ini:
zend_extension=/usr/lib/php/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so

zend.ini:
zend_extension_manager.optimizer=/usr/local/Zend/lib/Optimizer-3.3.0
zend_extension_manager.optimizer_ts=/usr/local/Zend/lib/Optimizer_TS-3.3.0
zend_optimizer.version=3.3.0a
zend_extension=/usr/local/Zend/lib/ZendExtensionManager.so
zend_extension_ts=/usr/local/Zend/lib/ZendExtensionManager_TS.so
zend_optimizer.enable_loader = 1
zend_optimizer.optimization_level=1

Here's my php -v output:

This site was working yesterday and the server needed a reboot and now it's not working. Any ideas?

SSH to your server and run the command whereis php and paste the results.

Here it is...

php: /usr/bin/php /etc/php.d /etc/php.ini /usr/lib/php /usr/include/php /usr/share/php /usr/share/man/man1/php.1.gz

Well I finally figured it out, this was an esoteric problem courtesy of SELinux, it was preventing execution of the Zend files. Here's the log file message that clued me in...

Feb 14 16:41:58 15967-38492 kernel: audit(1203036118.354:19): avc: denied { write } for pid=27158 comm="httpd" name="jk-runtime-status" dev=dm-0 ino=5211368 scontext=root:system_r:httpd_t tcontext=root:object_r:httpd_log_t tclass=file

And here's an old but useful link that helped me solve it.
