    Default Finally got to the Install scree but what is Curl?

    Hi All!

    I was the dopey goat from yesterday who couldn't find the install files for ZenCart. Well today I finally found out what I was doing wrong and I am ready to install, however before I hit that little button I have a question..

    Zen Cart found when checking my site that I don't have Curl installed.. It says I can proceed with the installation but I think I might need this. So my questions are..

    1. Is there a really really dumbed down way to install this Curly STuff it is saying I am missing?? Does anyone have instructions??? Links??

    2. Should I continue with the Install??

    Thanks!

    Michelle (Goat, BAHHHH)

    Don't be too hard on yourself - we've all been a little dopey when figuring Zencart out.

    CURL is installed on your server by your host. You can install and run Zencart without it, but many payment modules, including, I believe, PayPal, as well as some other functions, won't work without it.

    I don't remember who your host is, but there's a good chance you'll need a different one.

    I am on hold with Godaddy.com to see if they can do this for me.

    What do you guys think about them? Just started with them today and left HORRIBLE>>TERRIBLE>> NOT GOAT friendly Hostway.

    Sorry - out of the frying pan into the fire.

    Search this forum for 'godaddy'.
