WampServer

Using a wamp 64 3.3.5 local server, virtual hosts and installing DaDaBik app. While Installing the app the server is throwing "Can't Reach this page message" error.

All the server logs are good except for the apache log. It is reporting;
"Failed loading c:/wamp64/bin/php/php8.2.18/ext/\ioncube_loader_win_8.2.dll. It's finding the file, but
it's failing to load!

The "ioncube_loader_win_8.2.dll" file is in the location specified in the load failure message.
I used the ioncube wizard to install ionCube and it is reporting that it's installed correctly.

I tried apache 2.4.58 but got the same result. This started after updating wamp64 to 3.2 to 3.3.5.

My entire project is stuck until I can get past this issue. Please Help!!

Hi,

You seem to have a syntax error in the file path.

It's really very easy to install.

Download files: ioncube_loaders_win_vc16_x86-64.zip

Put the file in the : ioncube_loader_win_8.2.dll in the /Ext directory of PHP 8.2.X

Open file: phpForApache.ini

Search for section: [OPCACHE]

Important insert on the first line :
zend_extension = "F:/wamp64/bin/php/php8.2.2/ext/ioncube_loader_win_8.2.dll"

Save.

Restart WampServer.

Test:

Loader Installed

The ionCube Loader version 13.0.4 for PHP 8.2 is already installed and encoded files should run without problems.

Many thanks for your prompt response, much appreciated.

I used the wizard and did all the steps in your guidance and am receiving the exact same loader installed message. I wish this was the issue, for your right it is easy to do.

Thanks again.

Hi,

Be sure to check the VC16 package, as it should be up to date.

Verify that all VC ++ packages are installed and with the latest versions.

To do this, use the tool:

Checks VC++ packages installed

Do not use a previously loaded tool. Make a new download to make sure you are using the correct version.

Download packages on [wampserver.aviatechno.net] in section Visual C++ Redistribuable Packages

Do not forget that if you have a 64 bit Windows, you must install both 32 and 64 bit versions of each package.

You must install each package "as an administrator", so right-click the exe file and then run as Administrator.

To simplify things, see [wampserver.aviatechno.net], at the bottom of the page, under :

Best way to install Visual C++ Redistributable Packages


FYI, php.ini is used for FCGI mode and phpForApache.ini is used for the current version of PHP. So it's best to make changes in both files.

maximus23, you were correct after all. There was a syntax error. Then zend statement had an extra separator in it.

zend_extension = "F:/wamp64/bin/php/php8.2.2/ext/\ioncube_loader_win_8.2.dll"

now

zend_extension = "F:/wamp64/bin/php/php8.2.2/ext/ioncube_loader_win_8.2.dll"

Apache log is now clear, no errors!!

For some reason i was blind to seeing it. I reviewed it many times. Many thanks for your helpl!!

This issue is now resolved.
