Issue Softaculous and ioncube installation failed

belisleian

New Pleskian
Hi folks,
I use to have plesk 12 installed with softaculous without any problem on another vps ubuntu 14.04.

Now that I start a new VPS on Ubuntu 16.04 and install Plesk Onyx 17.0.17 with the One click installer by ssh.
I can't install softaculous. Keep giving me ioncube loader is not installed.
I did php -v and php -m and nothing about ioncube.
The default php version is
PHP 7.0.8-0ubuntu0.16.04.3 (cli) ( NTS )
Copyright (c) 1997-2016 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v3.0.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2016 Zend Technologies
with Zend OPcache v7.0.8-0ubuntu0.16.04.3, Copyright (c) 1999-2016, by Zend Technologies


How do I enable ioncube.

Why this is not working by default?
 
Why is this not working by default.
Because it works on OS vendor's PHP (not from Plesk). It is administartor's task to install ioncube loader for OS vendor's PHP from OS vendor's official repository.
