Now, we get this when trying to access the backend at worldnewstrust.com:

The encoded file /home/.astra/temporary1/worldnewstrust.com/administrator/components/com_news_portal/admin.news_portal.php requires a license file.
The license file /home/.astra/temporary1/worldnewstrust.com/administrator/components/com_news_portal/license.txt is not valid for this server.

Now what? 

Oh, it's the live domain alright. We did setup IonCube in the Dev domain and it's running, but since it is 1.5, we are waiting for the new NP.

And 1.5 does look a little different from 1.0.x, so I do know the difference. 

Heh. Ioncube is gonna have to rewrite the loader to make it work. Nick has been on the case.
