installing cUrl

[ohdang888]

I have a CentoOS Linux operating system with cPanel and WHM

 

anyways, works great except curl... Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init() in my php scripts

 

i have run this

yum install curl

 

works fine..  and did a graceful restart of the entire server. Getting the same error, as though its not enabled. Ran:

which curl

Outputs: /usr/bin/curl

 

So, it's clearly installed, but why isn't it working?

Also, i run a page with phpinfo(), and CTRL+F "curl" and it comes up with nothing. As though it doesn't event recognize it.

 

Btw,  running "yum install curl" says:

Setting up Install Process

Package curl-7.15.5-9.el5.x86_64 already installed and latest version

Package curl-7.15.5-9.el5.i386 already installed and latest version

 

Ideas?

Thanks

Have you added the curl entry to php.ini?

[JonnoTheDev]

yum install php-curl

Have you added the curl entry to php.ini?

 

I thought i only needed to do that in Windows (by removing that ";" in front of the extension). Either way, i removed the semi-colon and reboot the server... nothing.

 

 

 

Using this:

yum install php-curl

 

Says this:

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror

Same goes for php5-curl

When i check my errorlogs, i'm getting this:

 

[18-Mar-2011 04:38:29] PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/php_curl.dll' - /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/php_curl.dll: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

 

 

 

any ideas how to fix this?

 

Thanks

It's looking for a DLL when it should be a SO file.  Can you show us that line in the php.ini?

[ohdang888]

It was this:

 

;extension=php_bz2.dll
;extension=php_cpdf.dll
;extension=php_crack.dll
extension=php_curl.dll
;extension=php_db.dll

 

and it changed it to

;extension=php_bz2.dll
;extension=php_cpdf.dll
;extension=php_crack.dll
extension=php_curl.so
;extension=php_db.dll

re-built and restarted apache, its still comes up with an error of:

[18-Mar-2011 23:10:16] PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/php_curl.so' - /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/php_curl.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

Solved it.

 

For anyone having this issue:

Go into your WHM (Web Host Manager) then go to Software - EasyApache (Apache Update) - It may take a minute or so to load depending on your server and computer speed, once loaded click on start customizing based on profile down at the bottom then click Next Step until you are at Short Options List once there click Exhaustive Options List at the bottom of that page, then on the new page you are on you will find Apache options and settings for each PHP version you have. Check to see if "CurlSSL, and "Curl" checked. then save and build it
