Magento

Hi

Im trying to install magento on a windows XP with AppServ wamp. Im currently stuck in the install step 2.

I get the errors:

PHP Extension “mcrypt” must be loaded
PHP Extension “curl” must be loaded

Im sure the dll’s are in my extensions folder and I have removed the ; in my php.ini file.

Anyone else have this problem, is something else needed for these extensions?

/Bendtsen

Are sure, these extensions are properly loaded ? What says phpinfo() ?

Hi

I just found a solution to this problem - I had to copy some dll files to my c:\windows\system32 directory

for phpcurl libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll are needed

for mcrybt libmcrypt.dll is needed.

Hello, I have a very similar problem… my magento install says that I have to load those modules, or extensions… however, i cannot seem to make that happen, i am using xampp in its latest release for windows xp. Unfortunately i have to use this local installation to show magento to my potential clients, fiends etc.  and if I cannot make it happen locally i think there is less chance my host will… last i checked godaddy does not have php 5.2 on their linux package, so i will have to request an upgrade or something… locally however, i have the latest in php/mysql so i think magento should run… right after i manage to load these two pieces of the puzzle…

any help/pointers will be greatly appreciated.

Morales2k - did you follow installation instructions here?

Thanks

Morales2k -
go to the /xampp/apache/bin/php.ini
and then find the module names and uncomment them.
eg.
commented:  ;module.dll
uncommented:  module.dll

man i must be missing something, I am getting these same errors and I still cant past it, did everything these said to do and here I am still with the curl and mcrypt , is there a way to find out if they are loading/loaded with the php info page?

should they be there some where?

Any one using Wamp Server:

1. Click on the wamp system tray icon

2. Go to PHP -> PHP Extensions

3. Select php_curl and php_mcrypt

4. Restart Wamp (if it doesn’t automatically)

And that should be it fixed!

I try that and get “could not execute menu item (internal error) Exception couldn not perform service action, the rquested control is not valid for this service”

this is my php.ini file
“;extension=php_bz2.dll
extension=php_curl.dll
;extension=php_dba.dll
;extension=php_dbase.dll
;extension=php_exif.dll
;extension=php_fdf.dll
extension=php_gd2.dll
;extension=php_gettext.dll
;extension=php_gmp.dll
;extension=php_ifx.dll
;extension=php_imap.dll
;extension=php_interbase.dll
;extension=php_ldap.dll
extension=php_mbstring.dll
;extension=php_mcrypt.dll
;extension=php_mhash.dll

extension=php_sqlite.dll
;extension=php_sybase_ct.dll
;extension=php_tidy.dll
;extension=php_xmlrpc.dll
;extension=php_xsl.dll
;extension=php_zip.dll”

also, Installing on a linux server everything was going fine but im getting this error “Path “/var/www/vhosts/suppliessaver.com/httpdocs/var/session/sess_j6dfllhtl4ghqj74ddirqojtv5” must be writable”
permissions on linux are “600” right now, i try to change to “777” and it says “550 operation not permitted”

any ideas?>

actually those WAMP instrcutions worked, thanks!! still need the other help if anyone has suggestions, thanks.

Thank you Bendtsen for the solution.
It worked!
Also if someone has the same problem with pdo_mysql don’t forget to load php_pdo.dll as well along with the php_pdo_mysql.dll of course!

How I got mcrypt on Linux/Ubuntu 8.0.4:

Access SSH, so you get a command line (that black screen like MS DOS). Login as a root user (username: root). Now you have to enter a bunch of commands to get what you want, mcrypt for php on linux.

Command #1 - will give you PEAR, needed to install the rest.

Command #2: now you need the php5-dev package first, to do cool stuff, (assuming pear was installed in /root/bin/pear):

Command #3: get mcrypt

Restart your web server.

I took me a few hours to figure it all out. No wonder people like Windows more than Linux.... I install mcrypt on windows in a few minutes…

At least I got it working now.

thank you man, my problem was solved

Just goto php.ini file in the xampp/php folder and uncomment the line -> extension=php_curl.dll , by removing the ‘ ; ‘ infront of the line and you can able to load the php curl successfully. enjoy
