Ok, I'll try to be coherent this time.

I'm installing 1.3.8 in birdoasis.com/LAB/

Of course the store running 1.3.7 is running fine at birdoasis.com, but I want to upgrade it to the new version so I unzipped into the /LAB/ folder.

If I copy the config.php files from the 1.3.7 store the install script can connect to Curl to verify that it is installed.

However if I change the store path in configure.php to birdoasis.com/LAB/ the installer is can not connect to Curl and says that it Curl isn't installed with the errors I entered before.

I'm going to try it with a blank configure.php file in the appropriate places and see if that works, but I have to go out to drop off about 10 UPS boxes before the pickup time.

Thanks

JP
