Which version to install?

Print this Topic Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Wondering which version to download and install?  Maybe this will help....

 

When you login to your member's account to download the software, you'll notice there are several versions available for download.

They include...

1.  Ultimate Locator ionCube

2.  Ultimate Locator ionCube Auto-Uploader

3.  Ultimate Locator SourceGuardian PHP4

4.  Ultimate Locator SourceGuardian PHP5

 

First, determine if you want to download the ionCube version or SourceGuardian version.  If you choose ionCube, then your server must support ionCube encoded files.  If you choose SourceGuardian, then your server must support SourceGuardian encoded files.  And you will have to choose between PHP4 or PHP5 for SourceGuardian, depending on which version of PHP is installed on your server.

 

In most cases, our SourceGuardian version will install and run without any problems and without any modifications to your server.  If you seem to be having trouble getting the SourceGuardian version running as intended, then try installing the ionCube version.  Of course, if you know your server already has ionCube support built into your php.ini file, it will be best to use our ionCube version.

 

ionCube and SourceGuardian work much in the same way, regarding their requirements.  Both can run on any server without extra server modifications, as long as the required 'loaders' are present and PHP's Safe_Mode is off.  So, in either case, always make sure you have a folder inside your /locator folder named /ioncube or /ixed.  The /ioncube folder will need to contain any ionCube loader files and the /ixed folder will need to contain any SourceGuardian loader files.

 

Recommendations...

If you are installing on:

Linux or FreeBSD platform servers: Then try installing the ionCube Auto-Uploader version first, then SourceGuardian

Windows platform servers: Try installing the SourceGuardian version first, then ionCube

 

The ionCube Auto-Uploader version will not be successful on a windows server.  Don't wast your time downloading and using the Auto-Uploader tool if you are wanting to install on a Windows platform server.
