Softaculous Not Working on cPanel v120.0.12

The cPanel team has released version 120.0.12, which upgrades the third-party PHP binary to PHP 8.3. However, this update does not include ionCube loaders.

This omission causes Softaculous to not function on cPanel v120.0.12 since Softaculous requires ionCube loaders to operate.

The cPanel team has opened a bug report here:

Once they release a fix, Softaculous should automatically resume working without any further action needed.

Temporary Workaround

To resolve this issue until cPanel releases an official fix, you can execute the following command to load ionCube loaders:

wget -O /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/php/unversioned/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_8.3.so https://files.virtualizor.com/ioncube/64/ioncube_loader_lin_8.3.so

After running this command, Softaculous should function properly.

When cPanel releases a patch with ionCube loaders included, the ionCube file you downloaded will be overwritten, and the third-party PHP binary will load the ionCube loaders provided by cPanel.
