CURL requires SSL support

Have you set the cURL settings in admin/configuration/mystore?

Do a search for your host - I don't think anyone has ever solved that one because of their non-standard server set-up.

I will try to install it and then enable it from store settings as you say. Is there any hosting that you can recommend for Zen Cart.

Kim, I have exactly the same problem. How did you resolve yours? GoDaddy tech has suggested a script to be input, but failed to tell me how or where I should incorporate this script. Can't get an answer from them.
Your thoughts?

Kim was suggesting that people hosted with GoDaddy and having SSL and/or cURL problems may find the easiest solution to resolving the probem is by switching Hosters.

GoDaddy's servers have a weird setup. CURL is just one of many challenges you may face.

Nevertheless, if you want to set up CURL support on GoDaddy after you've installed Zen Cart (by ignoring the CURL warning message because you have no choice), here are the insructions: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=61528
