For cPanel
Installing IonCube Loaders with cPanel & WHM can be done one of two ways:
1) Using EasyApache via WHM >> EasyApache, IonCube Loaders can be selected under the Exhaustive Options List prior to compiling.
2) As the user `root` via SSH, you can run the below command to install IonCube Loaders without having to recompile Apache:
# /scripts/phpextensionmgr install IonCubeLoader
