Osoulo Lejeune
I have installed Freepbx 13 on Centos 7 manually following this link
+FreePBX+13+on+CentOS+7
all went ok but when I want to install commercial module system admin It gives the error for php zend guard and incron.
I install zend guard loader and incron but when I again go for install it prompts me error of permissions. I gave the permissions using chmod but now it prompts this error.

Zend Guard Loader requires Zend Engine API version 220090626.
The Zend Engine API version 220100525 which is installed, is newer.
Contact Zend Technologies at for a later version of Zend Guard Loader.
DRM won't stop piracy, but it will get in the way of your paying customers. You'll limit your potential customer base to those that can run the loaders to decrypt your software, which is a much smaller pool of people than all people with PHP web hosting. You'll also vastly increase your customer support load as you help people install the loaders and troubleshoot why your software won't run.
Most importantly, by creating this extra work and frustration for customers, and by preventing them from customizing their copies of the script, you'll lower their happiness with your product. That will result in less referrals, less positive reviews on blogs and social media, and in the end, less sales for you.
The best thing you can do to protect your files AND your sales is to not use DRM. Protect your business by offering incentives to be a legitimate customer, like technical support, free minor version upgrades, customer only discussion forums, etc. Not only will these make it desirable to purchase the script from you instead of download it from a pirate without those benefits, but it'll make your customers happier and more likely to spread the word, leading to more customers.
for both zend and ioncube there are services that decode them, but these softwares latest versions are very expensive to decode like 125 euro for 25 files . this is more than the price of script itself .so you don't need to worry much about it and can easily use either zend or ioncube (I use ioncube).
@dan : I had a script that I was giving free support for life with a very low price and with a lot of features,guess what? somebody stole the code and they spread it all over the internet after that all my customers started calling me about it,kinda were upset that they paid,even though they were getting support... long story short ... trust me encoding your script and forcing people to certain hosts is way way better than your script being shared on internet for free by some dorks.and about not loading on their hosts,I have made a file that test either ioncube is installed on the server or not,and I give this file to them before they buy my script to test it on their server.
It should be possible to properly encode your php & js files, by having all the symbols converted to nonsense symbols, by removing all comments, and by changing filenames. I don't believe that the encryption software in this area is measured by it's cryptographical properties, but rather by it's deployment properties (i.e. 1-click deployment etc.)
@Dan: There are a lot of models to make money, the "software-support" model is only one of them. For example, I would like to set up an internet company, and I don't like the thought that the hosting company can look and copy my source code.
I hate to break it to you, but there is no protection scheme that works when the intended recipient of your product is also the entity from which you need to protect it. (See movie/videogame DRM for a great example of this)
I sell my developed products to the masses and, therefore, I offer both. Both products have ways to limit their use (IP, time, etc.). However, since I offer both, I wrote my own licensing system that has a demo feature which allows a demo license to be used by code encoded with either product.
Both products are simple to use (IMO). If you have total control over the production environment (meaning you can configure PHP to use either), then I would recommend going with the cheaper of the two, IonCube.
Some notes from my experiences:
It took me just a few releases to figure out the best way to manage the encoding process. I create a directory for the release and copy the source into a subdirectory. I also create a zend and an ioncube directory at this same level. I encode into those two directories (using a subdirectory). If you know the platform you are going to distribute IonCube into, then you can drastically reduce the size by only distributing the one library file that supports your version of PHP/environment.
So lately, I have been having a fair amount of 404's, 503's and a few 500 errors. I say fair because for the past year - I rarely get any of them. This was mostly happening in the BO when loading a module page or accessing stats page - very random and I can deal with it. But lately (past 2 weeks) it's happening in the FO and that is not good for potential visitors. My host is telling me I am running up against resource limits. (which I do not quite get because nothing has changed other than trying to do a 1-click upgrade that never materialized because I got a 503 at the first apache call!)
However, there are bugs in the install that now affect things I need to be able to do (i.e. csv import/export, available date settings with combinations, etc.) I do understand what you are saying with a test shop but I am left with no other options I'm not trying to go to 1.6 unless necessary, merely 1.5.6.2 in hopes that these issues get fixed.
1-click upgrade that is causing this because I have never had this issue with any other function in my shop (aside from sql queries from MS access timing out but that is a whole other story!) I'll post what the host finds (if anything) but it appears as if maybe I am stuck with 1.5.3.1 - so much for scalability
As per our emails, I went through the link you provided (the topic and posts above) and here are my 2 cents on the issue. Our host (InMotion Hosting) also uses the Zend Engine version 220100525 which is the most current release. I would suggest trying to rename the PHP.INI file in your PrestaShop installation and see if the default server one will meet your needs. We have been seeing this pop-up with many WordPress installations. I've typically removed the php.ini file and then site works with no problem. And it's all related to the Zend Engine. However, in your case, it does appear to be more resource related. I think that what the others have provided above has been good advice in terms of resources used. The only way that you're going to be resolving this is in working with your current host's technical support, if they're willing to help identify the cause - if there's anything more than what you have already provided. From a hosting point of view, I would have to test it here to determine if our shared hosting would be a good solution versus using a VPS.
I am wondering if the failure to load the ioncube loader is constantly looping and therfore reaching the I/O limit. The above errors repeat a dozen times or so until it throws the last error (script timeout)
Those errors about ioncube and zend aren't causing the problems. The "script timed out before returning headers" error is the only issue out of the snippet of log you included.
There is just simply too much data when it goes to upgrade, it takes a long time. We have our shared hosting environment set with very tight timeout values to provide the best performance possible to the many clients on each server. As mentioned previously, the best course of action would be to perform a more manual upgrade of your site software.
If you just want it to work with the one click upgrade, your options are:
A. Size down your site
B. Upgrade to a hosting package like a dedicated server before trying the upgrade
So, because I do have pretty decent specs on the shared platform (certainly comparable to other hosts, including PS preferred hosts) Does this mean that a 1-click upgrade simply can not be done unless on a VPS? If this is really the case, why offer shared hosting "tuned for PrestaShop" that can not perform this function? I just want to get to the bottom of this to find out where the real problem lies and hopefully help others with a solution because a search for this problem yields a lot of unanswered posts.
I can say that from our point of view (at InMotion), the customer has access to a local PHP.INI file that they can set the website to use as opposed to the server-wide default file that the user cannot modify or access. I was asking around my office about this issue and it's difficult to say, because it is possible that the site is very large and resources on a shared server could be the limiting factor. The suggestion I was given was to temporarily raise the memory limit very high in the local php.ini file and then bring it down again when the upgrade is complete. Also, try to run the upgrade during off-peak hours to be able to get more resources from your shared server.
If he were to host with us, it's possible to upgrade to a VPS and then downgrade - though downgrades require a review by the systems team. I do understand that the economy of a shared host is good for a shop, but if the shop is beginning to require resources beyond what a shared hosting server can provide, then they may need to consider upgrading.
