I have tried to install the trial version (both Zend and Ion). I get this error with both. Currently I have Zend version uploaded. I did upload the zip file binary and unpacked on the server. File [/home/coveredc/public_html/amember/index.php] has been uploaded in ASCII (text) FTP transfer mode and is broken. Please re-upload file in BINARY mode. When I look at my phpinfo page I do see this. This program makes use of the Zend Scripting Language Engine: Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2009 Zend Technologies with the ionCube PHP Loader v3.3.10, Copyright (c) 2002-2009, by ionCube Ltd. Looks like I have the stuff installed and enabled. Not sure why I am getting the error.
First, you don't have ZO installed on the server, but have IonCube Loaders, so you should install IonCube encoded version. What exact error you get when try to install IonCube encoded version?
