Assign file permissions in jumpbox

These files were not modified through Core FTP Lite or any other ftp client i was using, so I had to login to the jumpbox as root and pass the chmod command to change permissions

sudo –i

(logs you in temporarily as root)

chmod og=rw /var/data/joomla15/xyz/abc.php

The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID {61738644-F196-11D0-9953-00C04FD919C1} to the user SID (S-1-5-21-573225893-205518295-0000000000-00000). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.

• 61738644-F196-11D0-9953-00C04FD919C1

Install IONCube on Joomla Jumpbox

I spent 3-4 hours in setting up IONCube on my joomla jumpbox but there were a lot  of access issues :S

Finally here is the set of steps that lead me to its installation:

• download the ioncube loader from here:
  http://www.stevekallestad.com/wiki/IonCube_Installation
• Extract the files and copy the files to storage/joomla15/ioncube/
• Open your browser and browse to the ioncube-loader-helper.php file
• Check to see whats the status of loader file currently on your jumpbox
• We will be using php.ini setup to install the loader. php.ini is located in etc/php5/apache2/ folder.
  • Open your jumpbox and click on Alt+F1 to go to the console
  • type: sudo nano /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
  • now add another entry in this file:
    zend_extension = /var/data/joomla15/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so
  • Save this file and restart the apache server:
    sudo /etc/int.d/apache2 restart
• Now browse again to the ioncube-loader-helper.php. it should show the following screen:
