IonCube PHP Loader Error on website

To Resolve this issue

Create a ‘php.ini’ within the following:

Download from : http://www.ioncube.com/loaders.php

Replace USER with the username of the account you are uploading the php.ini file to.

Replace “X” with the appropriate version of the ioncube loader

Upload the php.ini to your public_html directory.

If you are running your script from a directory other than public_html - for example /home/USER/public_html/blog/index.php you will need to upload the php.ini file to that directory.

How to block a specific IP Address from accessing your Website

If you have annoying visitors, site scrapers, or spammers, you may find it useful to block these users from accessing your website content. You can block bad visitors by IP Address (or blocks of IP Addresses) using a .htaccess file. Below are some useful examples.

In the following example, all IP Addresses and domains are accepted, except for xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and bad-site-example.com.

# allow all except those indicated here
<Files *>
order allow,deny
allow from all
deny from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
deny from .*bad-site-example\.com.*
</Files> 

In the following example, all IP addresses are denied access except for xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and good-site-example.com.

# Deny access to everyone, except those listed here:
<Files *>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
allow from .*good-site-example\.com.*
</Files> 

How to remove a website manually in Ensim Pro Control Panel

Everything should be done from under root user.

Check which siteX the site corresponds to:

and what adminX is responsible for it:

Let’s say siteX is site handler for the necessary domain, and adminX is the owner.

Remove user content physically from the server:

And remove the records from the system database:

Finally, you need to go through all the files in /etc/virtualhosting/mappings and check if any of them refer to the site you’re deleting. You can use grep to quickly see if/which files might refer to the site to be deleted:

And finally - restart ensim CP:

How to forward a website to another url using PHP

To do this, you need to create the page that will do the forwarding. This can be any page, as long as it ends in “.php”. If you are trying to redirect a domain, you’d create “index.php” inside the public_html directory.

<?php
header(”Location: http://blog.serverbuddies.com”);
?>

Where http://blog.serverbuddies.com is the location that you want the page to forward to.
