CloudLinux + LiteSpeed Web Server.

In this case, can anyone help me what I should do, for install ioncube?

Either reverse to using PHP 7.x or wait a bit longer.

Because ioncube for php 8.x is not ready yet, hopefully end of this month.
 
Until ionCube is supported for PHP 8:
cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build set php1_release 7.4
./build php n
./build set ioncube yes
./build ioncube
 
some not too happy folks I can imagine.
They don't have to wait too long. Check the link I posted, it's updated:
Last Updated: 29th July 2022

29TH JULY UPDATE: Beta testing has progressed well and the roll-out procedure has started with website updates and packaging. Full release is expected next week.
So that would be this week.
 
I see update:
5TH AUGUST UPDATE: Online Encoder has been updated with PHP 8.1 encoding support. Version 12.0.0 Loaders now available (Linux only for now, other operating systems will follow soon after).

I try using custom build after update, but still no avaialble this relase yet, It is possible say to DirectAdmin to upgrade this?

The second thing, I try download latest version with wget command from official website.
I see this, also from official website not available for php 8.1 in package.

As a developer i would wait on using PHP 8 until everything settles.

Like everything its best to gradaually update and replace functions when needed.
 
Is there something specific you need in PHP 8.1 that 7.x cant do for you?
 
Not for me.
But there are some people wanting to upgrade to php 8.x which is logical, but some applications require ioncube. So they can't upgrade until all is released and since php 7.4 is EOL and EOS end of november this year, it's quite logical they like to upgrade. ;)
 
So they skipped PHP 8.0 support for 8.1 only!
Yes.

Will you be supporting PHP 8.0?
We will not be supporting PHP 8.0. Much like with our version 10 release, we decided early on to skip over the x.0 PHP release as those can tend to be incomplete but mainly because it allows us more time to work on things our end. PHP 8 support will come in version 12 starting with PHP 8.1.
 
I have php1_release 8.1 ,, how to switch to the latest version of ioncube? , it doesn't work with custom build,
 
@lrdmafia
new archive has different structure, so:
or wait till DA repack it to same structure and make it install from their repo.
or you can install it manually.
