Enabling cURL

[Aardvark09]

I am trying to install zen cart and I get this warning CURL not compiled into PHP - notify server administrator

I didn't use xampp to install, as I already had them all installed separately.

I have restarted both apache and my computer, and I still get the same message.

cURL has to be compiled into PHP, and obviously it's not in the install that you have.

So how do I do that then

[Vger]

You need to install a version of PHP that comes with cURL compiled into it.

Well I have a php.ini document in my php files. There is a line there that says extension=php_curl.dll I removed the semicolon from that, but there wasn't a php.ini file in my apache files.

You can enable the php_curl.dll driver all you like - if cURL is not compiled in your install of PHP then it ain't there, full stop.

it's super easy with wamp.. just left click on icon in sys tray , click on php > modules > c_url , once enabled left click and reset wamp. All done

run a
<?
phpinfo();
?>

to make sure it executed...

I have been stuck on cURL enabling for the past couple of days.

I am running Xampp 1.7.1 windows installer with no luck. Looked for xammp/apache/bin/php.ini and the file is not there.

I did find php.ini and removed the ; from extension php_curl.dll

I restarted computer everytime, restarted apache everytime still no go.

I then uninstalled xammp 1.7.1 windows installer and reinstalled zip installer as per instructions, file not found.

I am now going to install xampp 1.6.8 after reading forums in here and see if i can get this curl to work.

I want to use xampp as i am following the e-start guide for zen cart to the letter.

any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

I went to wamp too , too many problems with xampp and some security issues with xampp too
