Fatal error: Incompatible file format: The encoded file has format major ID 1, whereas the Loader expects 4 in ... on line 0

  • 772

I am using Ubuntu 10.04 and for some time I had to keep a downgraded PHP 5.2 package because I need to run Zend encrypted scripts. Recently I noticed that Zend released beta version of their loader (http://forums.zend.com/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=1365&start=80#p22073) so I updated to the native PHP 5.3 package, downloaded the .so file, added this to php.ini

;zend_extension=/etc/php5/ZendOptimizer.so
zend_extension=/etc/php5/ZendGuardLoader.so
zend_loader.enable=1
zend_loader.disable_licensing=0
zend_loader.obfuscation_level_support=3

and restarted the server. Now I am getting this error:

Fatal error: Incompatible file format: The encoded file has format major ID 1, whereas the Loader expects 4 in ... on line 0

Do you by chance know an easy fix for this? Or should I downgrade back and wait till when they release something more stable?

  1. You'll have to re-encode your scripts with the newer version of Gaurd.

    Please note this Loader will not load PHP 5.2 code encoded with previous version of Guard. All PHP files must be re-encoded to run in PHP 5.3.
