clean install Curl issue on WAMP

[MikeyG]

Dr Byte,

Thank you for the pointer about curltester.php so it appears that the Curl is running but the error is not having a local SSL certificate in place. Obvious really... so the next question is of course how can I install a certificate on local host.....I have read bit about self signing but do not seem to be able to find some step by step instructions on how to do this. Those I have found I have not been successful with. Anyone know a good site with how to set up Open SSL on a local host (for testing purposes locally only as this is in development.)


Thank you once again for the great support you guys do.

Regards

Mikeyg

Sorry Me again, actually that is not the issue as I just realised I had change my php back to 7.0.4 and not on 7.3

So infact when I run on 7.3 the curltester it does not run at all: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function curl_init()

so I am back to trying to sort out why wamp does not run curl in 7.3.

Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function curl_init()

That means PHP wasn't compiled/built with curl support included. Hopefully the WAMP support site can offer guidance on using their bundled software.

I'm having similar issues running a clean install of 1.5.6a on Wampserver on Windows 10. I spent the morning battling just to get cURL to load - You may want to try making sure that both your PHP and Apache are updated (I was running Apache 2.4.17 along with PHP 7.1.26 and cURL wouldn't work). Updating to Apache 2.4.38 did the trick.

cURL seems to work fine everywhere except where the Version check is concerned - my error log gives me:

Here's what I see at the top of my admin
Attachment 18310

I believe this is because I'm not running in SSL and don't have a local certificate. Just sharing in case it helps anyone else out.

What did you update your PHP to?
