Installing ionCube
ionCube protects software written using the PHP programming language from being viewed, changed, and run on unlicensed computers.
1. Download ionCube loaders
wget http://downloads.ioncube.com/loader_downloads/ioncube_loaders_lin_x86.tar.gz
2. Extract
tar zxvf ioncube_loaders_lin_x86.tar.gz
3. Move to a permanent location
mv ioncube /usr/local/
4. Add reference to your php.ini file (pico /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini)
zend_extension = /usr/local/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so
There are a few versions of the loader in the tar archive and you can choose the one that suites your needs
5. Restart apache
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Tanks for the great tutorial!! Install great on debian6 (squeeze).
Only a tip to be more “debian like style/compatible”, the step 4 can be a file (ex. create a /etc/php5/conf.d/ioncube.ini) with the line zend_extension = /usr/local/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so.
It´s more compatible in future upgrades.
Sorry for mispelling, english is not my main language, I´m Brazilian!

sorry, in debian 6 use:
zend_extension = /usr/local/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_5.3.so
