Answer 1

add this line end of php.ini

openssl.cafile=/opt/lampp/share/curl/curl-ca-bundle.crt

may be curl path cannot be identified by PHP

Answer 2

if you have used curl above the page and below your html is present and unfortunately your html page is not able to view then just enable your curl. But in order to check CURL is enable or not in php you need to write following code:

echo 'Curl: ', function_exists('curl_version') ? 'Enabled' : 'Disabled';

If anyone else stumbles onto this page from google like I did:

use putty (putty.exe) to sign into your server and install curl using this command :

    sudo apt-get install php5-curl

Make sure curl is enabled in the php.ini file. For me it's in /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini, if you can't find it, this line might be in /etc/php5/conf.d/curl.ini. Make sure the line :

    extension=curl.so

is not commented out then restart apache, so type this into putty:

    sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Answer 4

I used the previous installation instruction on Ubuntu 12.4, and the php-curl module is successfully installed, (php-curl used in installing WHMCS billing System):
sudo apt-get install php5-curl
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

By the way the below line is not added to /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini config file as it's already mentioned: extension=curl.so

In addition the CURL module figures in http://localhost/phpinfo.php
Best,

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Answer 6

It dipends on which distribution you are in general but... You have to install the php-curl module and then enable it on php.ini like you did in windows. Once you are done remember to restart apache demon!
