[soso838]

I install the zencart 1.5 everything is good, but when I want to set up Crul，I cannot find form
config->Mystore, is any one know where to setup the curl?

Curl is enabled within PHP.

Uncomment out the curl line in your php.ini file to enable curl: extension=php_curl.dll


That is if you have it installed.

The CURL proxy status feature has been removed from ZC1.5 because the function is deprecated

SEE:http://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.p...ease-Available

Read through the changelog and you will see:

CHANGE-138 Set CURL Proxy Status to FALSE by default, and remove from display since it's now deprecated

Ask hostgator to configure CURL in PHP for you.

If they don't want to do that, go find a better host. (They are crap hosts anyway.... why you want to host with those idiots is unclear).

Sorry I an not quite understand the V1.5
I have already ask the hostgator. they said my curl already turned on. but when I try to setup paypal. it shows

PayPal Express Checkout

PayPal Express Checkout (rev1.5.0)
Manage your PayPal account.

Configuration Instructions:
1. Sign up for your PayPal account - click here.
... and click "install" above to enable PayPal Express Checkout support.
2. Ensure you have entered the appropriate security data for username/pwd etc, below.Requirements:
*CURL is used for bidirectional communication with the gateway, so must be active on your hosting server
(if you need to use a CURL proxy, set the CURL proxy settings under Admin->Configuration->My Store.)

and when I check admin>server information
the curl shows
curl
cURL support enabled
cURL Information libcurl/7.24.0 OpenSSL/0.9.8t zlib/1.2.3 libidn/1.18

it that mean I can setup paypal without setting the :
"*CURL is used for bidirectional communication with the gateway, so must be active on your hosting server
(if you need to use a CURL proxy, set the CURL proxy settings under Admin->Configuration->My Store.)"

I see the problem. You are confusing "CURL" and "CURL PROXY". These are NOT the same thing.

cURL is something that is enabled/disabled at the server. These days it is almost always enabled on every server.

cURL Proxy was a zencart setting created for GoDaddy users (and perhaps others) because these servers required special treatment in order to use cURL. The special treatment being the setting of the proxy server.

These days it has been determined that none of the servers currently use/require the proxy settings, so they have been removed as a setting from the zencart code.

In other words you can ignore any and all references to "CURL PROXY". If you are having a problem please provide details.

The problem is that the Paypal Payment module does not work because it still appears to be expecting cURL proxy to be switched off..but you cannot do this any more.

So, I am stuck. Where the Paypal payment module cannot be completed because it directs me to disable cURL proxy before completing the payment module configuration...but I cannot disable the cURL proxy because it is no longer there.
