Magento

How do I go about getting this to happen, this is the error message I’m getting when I try and do the install..

According to the changelog, last Magento release (0.6.12510) installation wizard now checks for curl on setup.
Make sure curl extension is enabled in your php.ini
Check the line refering to php_curl.dll uncomment it and restart your web server.

copy the libeay32.dll , ssleay32.dll from the extracted PHP Folder to the path of PHP ex: Program Files/PHP/
and the same with php_curl.dll copy it form from the extracted PHP Folder to the path of PHP ex: Program Files/PHP/ext/

with taking in your concern the previous replay
and restart the apache,

hoping that helps you,

I am trying to configure Magento on Ubuntu 7.10. Everything is set up except for curl.

Does anyone know how to enable it?

This is what I’m getting:
PHP Extension “curl” must be loaded

That’s the only error that I get when I launch the installation wizard. Everything else seem fine.

Anyone? Thanks…

I just figured it out…

Just do:
sudo apt-get install php5-curl

It works now!

Figoured out that under Xamp and Xp the extension curl must be enabled under xamproot\apache\bin\php.ini not under xamproot\php\php.ini

Also, iconv must be loaded too. The system requirements page should include both cURL and iconv. Even though both of those are typically bundled with most PHP installations, it’s still a good idea to add them to the list.

I’m new to Magento, but editing my php.ini file & uncommenting the following resolved my problem.

extension=php_curl.dll

BTW, this was done on a local server using WAMP. Thanks.

i m doing installation on my local WAMP as well but cant go beyond this issue although I followed all the steps related to editing php.ini file.

Greetings All!

I’m new here & this is my first post.

I’ve just installed magento as well on xampp and was getting the same error message, although I followed all instructions
for proper installation. I stumbled on few answers saying to restart the service, the local server, which to my surprise worked!

Surprise, because I have a few different CMS’s running locally on xampp and I never had to do this before running into similiar
problems.

Anywayw, just shut down all services and restart. It may work for you as well.
