Checksum error! :((

[Piotr Drozdowski]

After two days of trying install microcode finally I did it:))))))
I made this on RedHat 7.1, Apache 1.3.24 and PHP 4.2.0 (I couldn't do this on older php version 4.0.6, 4.1.2)
I got microcode.so library :)) with my own keys and was very happy but... I want if it works.

I made easy file test.php:
-------------
<?
  $sth = 'hello';
  echo $sth;
?>
-------------
and trying few things
1. made test1.php and test2.php:
a) purify test.php test1.php
b) encoder test1.php test2.php
2. made test3.php and test4.php:
a) encoder test.php test3.php
b) purify test3.php test4.php

New php file (show.php):
<?
  dl("./microcode.so");
  databay_microcode_include("./test*.php");
?> // * - 1,2,3,4 - all test*.php files

But "show.php" file dosen't work :(( None of these test*.php files works:((

I always see only "Checksum error!" error....

What I did wrong? What is going wrong?
How finnaly files must be encode?
I must give up without your help.
--------------------

Thanks a lot for answer

p.s.
I'm very glad for this Microcode tool:)

Hi,

do you use the hardcoded keys or the keyfiles?
Which crypto algorithms did you try?

You wrote that you tried test{1..4}.php files.
with "databay_microcode_include()" .

Of course test1.php will definitely NOT work, as it is just a PHP script - all HTML parts converted to valid PHP source.
test2.php is the one that works.

Same for test3 and test4 : purifying the encoded file doesn't make sense, as the purify tool just parses PHP and HTML files to convert the file into pure PHP, so
_FIRST_ purify _THEN_ encoder.

additionally we definitely recommend using <?PHP ?> tags instead of the <? ?> ones, although <? ?> should be parsed correctly by purify anyway...

Please double check that the file you encode does _NOT_ contain any <?PHP ?> tags and that it is plain PHP source.

Please try to encode a file containing just
$sth="hello";
echo $sth;

NO opening or closing PHP tags!!
That file can be encoded directly using "encoder test.php test.enc 20"

I know what I was doing wrong...

1. I have microcode.so in wrong php_extensions path. Now is Ok and I see in phpinfo() note about microcode:

Databay AG Encryption Support enabled
Copyright Notice (C) 2001-2002 by Databay AG
Version V 0.96

Directive      |       Local Value          |        Master Value
enable_keyfile |            0               |             0
keyfile        | /etc/microcode/default.key | /etc/microcode/default.key

2. Before your answer I didn't exactly know how these encoding and puryfing works (cutting phptags etc.) - now I know - I made all files again and I have no "Checksum error!" but:

brrrrr - sorry that I so gruesome

At file with databay_microcode_include(...) I see nothing - server gives me 503 error:

503 Service Unavailable
16:41:03 ERROR 503: Service Unavailable.

Other, pure files works ok... but this one with result of purify_encode work strange... server is going crazy...

I uppreciate your work - before I wrote here again I was trying these microcode tool on two servers - RedHat and Debian on PHP 4.2.0
and Apache 1.3.24. Anywhere the same things.

I use hardcoded keys. I tried all algorithms.

Once again Thanks For Your GOOD work
and thanks for future prompt (answer)
