Magento

Hi, I am installing Magento 1.0 on a local server using XAMPP. I have put the downloaded files into the correct place, and can get to the localisation setting when I’m setting up Magento. However, when I click continue after that, it says “"PHP Extension “curl” must be loaded” - please set all required settings before clicking continue.”
How can I solve this? I am running windows vista.

Thanks everyone

Enable it by removing the semi-colon before it in php.info. There are several copies of the file in different directories so make sure you adjust the correct file (apache/bin directory I think). Do the same for mcrypt.
Also in apache/conf directory httpd.conf you can enable url rewrite module in a similar way if you like.

You’ll need to restart apache.

I’ve done that, but the same error still comes up. any ideas?

Only to check that you have done it correctly.

me too with the same probem :-(.  none has ideas?

same problem. was trying to edit the files (as suggested) but no luck

WORKED!!

I found the ‘curl’ line in the php file in the apache/bin and removed the ‘ ; ‘ and then found the ‘rewrite’module line in the apache/conf/httd.conf file and removed the ‘ # ‘.

Almost got this setup now lol only taken a few days!!!

It’s still not working for me though! :o(

I’m running Vista and installed Magento on Xampp. I still get the error message “PHP Extension “curl” must be loaded”.

I’ve removed the ; and # - but still get the error.

Please help!

I am getting the same error like
PHP Extension “curl” must be loaded
I have enabled and followed and copied the dll to the system32 folder in XP and i have come down to this single error in loading curl.

Please anyone help me in this. Is there a need to keep up with the .htaccess for the this curl?? to work??

Do help me at the earliest. I am waiting to test with magento rather than virtue mart?

If it’s any help

That worked out for me!!! thnx a lot.

You forgot restart Apache

Hi, I had the same problem on LAMP

This is the solution:

sudo apt-get install curl libcurl3 libcurl3-dev php5-curl

Now you have PHP cURL installed, the next thing you need to do is to restart apache2, run the following command in your terminal:

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

I did all this, and now I have this error:

Exception printing is disabled by default for security reasons.

Error log record number: 391846631

Any solution for this?

I had the same problem in XAMPP then i removed `;` before the line extension=php_curl.dll from php.ini in php directory and restarted the xampp now it works fine

1. Search all php.ini file in xampp directory
2. Removed `;` before the line extension=php_curl.dll from php.ini
3. Restarted the xampp now it works fine
