fix_cache_key.php used to work for me time after time. A few minutes ago I tried it again and... it simply displays a blank page. Which spells t-r-o-u-b-l-e ...
Trying to figure out why this weird, unexpected behavior, I tried running it from the command line:
Sure enough, in response I receive something that I don't think I should be receiving:Code:/usr/bin/php -f fix_cache_key.php
I suspect that this is a problem with some change done at my web host, not fix_cache_key.php, because it is the same exact fix_cache_key.php that used to work for me for weeks.Failed loading /usr/local/IonCube/ioncube_loader_lin_5.2_ts.so: /usr/local/IonCube/ioncube_loader_lin_5.2_ts.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

However, before contacting my web host tech support I think that I need to confirm with the guru(s) familiar with this PHP script the nature of this problem.
Note: Zen Cart continues to work as usual.
Another piece of information that may be relevant: 5 months ago, my web host account used PHP ver. 5.2.5. It is now ver. 5.2.6.
Are you familiar with this error message?

Re: fix_cache_key.php suddenly broken?
That's exactly what I have been doing - and did this time, too.

Interestingly enough, in my search for clues I found the following thread:

While Zen Cart itself does not require IonCube, perhaps fix_cache_key.php does?

Re: fix_cache_key.php suddenly broken?
No, Zen is opensource, it does not need that.
I no longer provide installation support on forum for all my modules. However, if there are real bugs with the modules please feel free to contact me

Re: fix_cache_key.php suddenly broken?
Yes, I know that Zen Cart itself does not require IonCube, but I was asking about the script that is not officially part of Zen Cart: fix_cache_key.php.
If it doesn't need IonCube, why do I get this error message?

Re: fix_cache_key.php suddenly broken?
Probably a configuration change recently made to your server by your hosting company? Perhaps they recently changed something to make it trigger ioncube stuff? Maybe they're making every PHP script run thru ioncube for some reason? Doesn't make sense, but sometimes server admins do strange things, sometimes unbeknownst even to themselves.
The fix_cache_key.php utility script is a very simple PHP script, and does not require or utilize anything specific to ioncube or any encoding library..

Re: fix_cache_key.php suddenly broken?
Thanks for your insights, DrByte. I know that you are the one who wrote fix_cache_key.php, so I was eager to hear what you have to say about this.
In the meanwhile, my web host tech support managed to fix the problem. That was after I had to re-state the fact that this script has not changed since May 2006 and so the sudden break must have been due to a recent change in the system (they did some impressive upgrades in the last few days).
I still don't know how they fixed it. If and when I get this information from them I will post it here. I somehow suspect that this had something to do with the global php.ini (in /usr/local/lib).

Re: fix_cache_key.php suddenly broken?
That type error msg. is specific to Server software. In doing some upgrades the IonCube was missed being included which produced the error. No doubt you will get a similar type msg. from your Hoster but as a Hosting Client, who cannot do anything to correct the situation, one only needs to know the problem was solved.Failed loading /usr/local/IonCube/ioncube_loader_lin_5.2_ts.so: /usr/local/IonCube/ioncube_loader_lin_5.2_ts.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

What you say is correct, but the last sentence seems to contradict the following solution to the same type of problem: Originally Posted by Website Rob

If you read the solution at the end of the thread, you'll notice that all what was needed is change a setting in php.ini.
If I place my own php.ini under my home directory, then in essence I do have control over this. To make such decision, however, I need to know first whether my host's solution was in php.ini or something in the installation of that .so library.
I am still baffled by the fact that while this script couldn't run by PHP, the entire Zen Cart functioned perfectly. How is this possible? Either PHP is broken or not.

Re: fix_cache_key.php suddenly broken?
Ok, let me clarify by stating that each Hoster has their own way of setting up their Servers.
As a Hoster as well, I do not see the logic in doing things the way BlueHost does with regard to this situation but, their Company, their Servers, their Rules. If you host with them and their solutions work for you then all is good.
IMHO, a Hosting Client should not have to worry about back-end Server stuff and/or settings for them; such as: IonCube, Zend, cURL, whatever.
