<![CDATA[ionCube not loading on PHP 7.4]]>Unfortunately the software I need to run is not available for PHP8 and is currently running the 7.3 version on 7.4 ionCube & PHP.

I am trying to move it to a LAMP stack but it fails loading the extension.

php.ini

zend_extension=/app/data/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_7.4.so

log on starting

Jan 21 13:11:56 ==> Do not override existing index file
Jan 21 13:11:56 ==> PHP version set to 7.4
Jan 21 13:11:56 ==> Source custom startup script
Jan 21 13:11:56 ==> Creating credentials.txt
Jan 21 13:11:57 ==> Starting Lamp stack
Jan 21 13:11:57 PHP Fatal error: [ionCube Loader] The Loader must appear as the first entry in the php.ini file in Unknown on line 0

Also without loading it in php.ini phpinfo does not show it is loaded.

You have to update all the way up to version 3.0.3. You can also remove the custom zend_extension you have added.
