hi,

i'm encountering a similar problem and can't find a solution anywhere that works.

i've got 1.38a of zencart installed on IIS 6 using fact CGi. I've enabled cURL by commenting it out of the php.ini and copying the dll files over to the system32 folder.
When i check it out in a php info file it shows up as successfully enabled.
I have purchased and set up a dedicated SSL on a unique static IP and everything is working fine with that.
Yet i still get the same errors when installing zencart.

My curltest.php files has the following results.

Code:
7 couldn't connect to host

Array
(
    [url] => "http://www.zen-cart.com/testcurl.php"
    [content_type] => 
    [http_code] => 0
    [header_size] => 0
    [request_size] => 0
    [filetime] => -1
    [ssl_verify_result] => 0
    [redirect_count] => 0
    [total_time] => 0
    [namelookup_time] => 0
    [connect_time] => 0
    [pretransfer_time] => 0
    [size_upload] => 0
    [size_download] => 0
    [speed_download] => 0
    [speed_upload] => 0
    [download_content_length] => -1
    [upload_content_length] => -1
    [starttransfer_time] => 0
    [redirect_time] => 0
)
So cURL is enabled but cannot communicate with the zencart server. What solutions are there? Is setting up a proxy a possible solution? If so how do i set that up?

Thanks in advance for any direction anyone might be able to point me in,

regards,
