Install says Curl not installed, but it is.

juicevb10:

I'm getting the same errors regarding CURL.
Here is a link to my curltest.php

And, the error is correct ... Your CURL won't let you connect via SSL:
http://cacaocouture.com/store/extras/curltest.php?ssl=1 (7-couldn't connect to host).

Something wrong with the SSL Cert as well.

https://cacaocouture.com/ also gives errors.

This is a Server problem that the Hoster will need to fix.

Is anyone else using 1and1.com? I'm wondering if it's them.

Hi,
I am having the same problem as described above.
There is a working 1.37 installation on the site and I am trying to install 1.38 alongside for testing.
this is link to my curltest.php

It's exactly as the warning message states: Your server's CURL is not able to communicate to external servers. You'll have to have your hosting company troubleshoot their CURL configuration.

it's not a 1and1 hosting problem (for once) since I'm on surfspeedy now.

The last time I tried it I forgot to edit the configure.php files after moving the files to the public_html folder.

I'll try again sometime today. If it slows down enough. People keep buying things. haha. It's going to be a Very Merry Christmas!

However with the configure.php file from my working store, and the current store path the installer can connect to curl.
That's very odd, since the CURL testing isn't based on files/paths on your server. What happens if you run the curltest.php script from the /extras/ folder?

By the way,

Don't let the Curl error stop you from trying to install. Set all the folders to the right permissions and fix any other errors that you can and you'll see that the update and install buttons become active.

This is what I did and I think it would have worked once copied to the main directory of my site. I was simply too tired to realize that I forgot to edit the paths in the configure.php files after moving the files.

I'm now going to Curl forums to see what the problem could be so that when I ask my host to check it out I can give them some reference links. Giving reference links will help the low level techs decide to boost your ticket to the higher level techs.

If I find the Curl links I'm looking for I'll post them in here.

DrByte's right, there must be some configuration with Curl that isn't allowing the connection via a subdirectory. And since I can make the connection by simply changing the url path to the main directory of the site, I'm able to confirm that the configuration of Curl is wacky in some way. Yes, wacky is a technical term.

What I was trying to say is that the "subdirectory" should have no effect one way or another. If you try to tell your tech folks that it's related to being in a certain subdirectory they'll likely put you at the bottom of the list.

Ok,

Backing up and trying the curl test.

Wait a minuet.

Notice the zen-cart url in there.

Let me checkout the code on curltest.php

I don't have the testcurl.php file. I assume that it's different than curltest.php. Or am I heading in the wrong direction again?

birdoasis:

Notice the zen-cart url in there.Yes, the zen-cart.com URL is intended. It attempts to use CURL to talk to the zen-cart.com server (testcurl.php there), to see whether CURL works on your server or not.> birdoasis:

Wrong direction.

Ok

So by looking at the test results Curl is not connecting at all, yet it seems to be working on my site. Therefore I simply ask my hosting techs to check out the Curl installation?

I installed was able to complete the update on the script and database by ignoring the Curl errors but I can't login to admin.

I'm assuming this is due to the problems I'm having with Curl. I've entered a ticket explaining the problem as best I can, leaving out the sub directory issues.

I'll let you know what they say.

Am I making the wrong assumption? Blaming Curl for not being able to login? I've even tried resetting the password via the login script.

This is the new installation in a seperat folder, site is still fine. Still making sales. not touching that yet.

Yeah, you're right. I had messed up my server configuration last night trying to upgrade my MySQL version and the whole thing went down. I got it all fixed and Curl SSL support installed on there too. Everything looks great. Thank you for looking into it...

I found that ignoring the CURL statements worked. Login problems with the admin may be something else.
