CURL not found

[Rob905]

Then run, don't walk, to a hosting company who knows what they're doing.

In fact, it'll usually run better on Linux.

And........?
Can you answer the question please instead of bashing the hosting.

My comment wasn't intended to 'bash' the hosting. It's merely solid advice. Don't host your business with someone who doesn't know hosting.

There are very clear instructions on how to install CURL support into PHP, scattered over the internet. Your favorite search engine can bring up the results for you and for your host just as easily as for me. Surely your host knows how to search for "how" to do that? They have certainly not done any research if they say "they think it can only be used on Linux servers".

Perhaps a simple reply to them saying "Um, no, it can run on Windows servers too. Can you install it please?" might be sufficient. While you're at it, make sure they have SSL support enabled too. CURL needs it to send your transactions "securely".

Thanks
They've never had anyone use it on their Windows server so it's not installed but can be.
That's why I asked the question, "will ZC run on Unix" or will I have to change my database again? I'm currently using MySQL and spent a LOT of time and effort to get it to where it is today.

You can run Zen Cart on linux quite happily.

You'll likely have to set it all up again on the new server, but you can transfer all your files and database, and thus preserve your work so-far.
