Check your servers PHP version. You do this by typing the command:

php -v

Check your system architecture. You do this by typing the command:

uname -i

The result will either be i386 or x86_64. You will need this information to download the correct PHPshield loaders.

Check your PHP extensions_directory. You do this by typing the command:

php -i | grep extension_dir

My path is

extension_dir => /usr/lib/php5/20090626 => /usr/lib/php5/20090626

You must first delete any loaders that may already be in your extensions directory

cd /usr/lib/php5/20090626
rm phpshield.*

Download PHPshield Loaders. You must now download the appropriate PHPshield loader, based on your system architecture. below is a list of the files we have available for download

  • Linux, i386, v5.2.x wget http://downloads.phpmotion.com/phpshield-loaders/32bit/phpshield.5.2.lin
  • Linux, x86_64, v5.2.x wget http://downloads.phpmotion.com/phpshield-loaders/64bit/phpshield.5.2.lin

First you need to find out the location of your main php.ini file. This file is the main configuration file for PHP on your server.
You do this by typing the command below

php -i | grep php.ini

You should get a result that shows something like this

Loaded Configuration File => /etc/php.ini

In the case of our example above, the path we want it /etc/php.ini (others, /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini)
Now run the command below. Remember to use your own php.ini directoy path in the command above

echo "extension=ixed.5.3" >> /etc/php.ini

Restart your web server

/etc/init.d/apache restart

or

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
