Blocked.com free trial script shows blank page

Here's what I'm trying to do: https://www.blocked.com/install.php

I've tried locally with XAMPP and on DigitalOcean with LEMP and LAMP on Ubuntu 14.04, all of them with the same result: Step 4 shows a blank page.

Is there anything I'm missing or is it their fault?

Solution

  • I found what the problem was.

    I had to enable errors to see what was going on, and apparently I need(ed) to install IonCube Loader on the server.

    //error_reporting(0); ini_set('display_errors', 0);

ini_set('display_errors',1);
ini_set('display_startup_errors',1);
error_reporting(-1);

    Also, they check if you have IonCube Loader in your system AFTER using it... Makes sense.

    $version_ioncube = ioncube_loader_version();

Fatal error: Call to undefined function ioncube_loader_version() in /usr/share/nginx/html/blockscript/install.php on line 18

    On line 33:

    # check if ionCube is installed
if (!function_exists('ioncube_loader_version')) {
    print_message('<b>Warning:</b> ionCube is not installed. ionCube is required to run the Blocked software.
