I try:

###################################################################################################################################################################################### 100.0%
ionCube loader 11.0.1 is now installed for PHP 7.4.
There is no ionCube loader available for PHP 8.0.
ionCube loader 11.0.1 is now installed for PHP 8.1.
CageFS: Executing 'cagefsctl --force-update'...


Now I check php version:

PHP Version 8.1.10​


I try reload litespeed and restart diradmin. Still I get: Site error: the ionCube PHP Loader needs to be installed.

I check in phpinfo and I not see any information about ionCube loader

Hello,

Just make sure your site is using either PHP 7.4 or PHP 8.1, there is no ionCube for 8.0

Another reason might be that your domain is using a PHP from CloudLinux (i.e. not native). If this is the case, then you need to apply extra steps to enable ionCube for your domain.

Yes, I use CloudLinux, The issue is for PHP 7.4 working correct. But for 8.1 I get this error.
 
Ok, I found strange issue.

U upload php info to server, then when I open php info in browser, then I see: PHP logo PHP Version 8.1.10

But when I cd in ssh to this domain and run then I get output:

For this I get output: /usr/local/php81/bin/php -v

I try custom build 2.0 update, and then:
[root@live7263 custombuild]# ./build ioncube
Downloading ioncube_loaders_lin_x86-64.tar.gz...

But still I not see ioncube_loader_lin_8.1.so
 
So looks like this is not available in custom build? also can you help me how to correct enable / install this manually?
 
Yes, as I said before, I update custom build then I run build ioncube and I get this output:

It's not strange, because when running php alone, it's calling PHP which is complied with CustomBuild. And CustomBuild is not installing ionCube for Alt-PHP which is a CloudLinux component. What you need to do is going to DA - CloudLinux Manager - Selector, choose PHP 8.1 there and enable ioncube extension.
 
I renew license for CloudLinux, then I switch in selector php to 8.1, and I see IonCube extension also enabled by default. Now I check from user level:
php -v

Looks like is correct, now I try install WHMCS and still I get:
Site error: the ionCube PHP Loader needs to be installed. This is a widely used PHP extension for running ionCube protected PHP code, website security and malware blocking. Please visit get-loader.ioncube.com for install assistanc

Also I restart litespeed, this should also reload php but still not work.


* Before when I build php in custom build there is no available ioncube. Maybe now I should rebuild php ?

You will need to make sure that the account installing WHMCS is using PHP 8.1 from Cloud Linux, not default PHP 7.4 from CustomBuild.
 
I think in this case this account use custom build php instand of cloudlinux php:

Loaded Configuration File/usr/local/php81/lib/php.ini

I think should be loaded configuration some like opt/alt
