cURL module

[petecorbs]

Hi
After a few probs with set up on my web server i am setting up on my local machine using the xampp enviroment (1.7.0)
php 5.2.8
mysql 5
sugar 5.2

all has gone well except for an error on the system envoroment check i am receiving the error cURL module doesnt exist.
I have set up xampp without ftp service activated is this the cause or do i have to add something to the php.ini file to activate cURL

Thanks

In your xampp folder go to apache\bin and open php.ini. Find this line:

;extension=php_curl.dll

and remove the semi-colon so it looks like:

extension=php_curl.dll

and save. Restart Apache and you should be good to go.

My php.ini looks like this....

; Windows: "\path1;\path2"
include_path = ".;C:\xampp\php\pear\"
doc_root =
extension_dir = "C:\xampp\php\ext\"
;extension=php_cpdf.dll
;extension=php_crack.dll
extension=php_curl.dll
;extension=php_cvsclient.dll
;extension=php_db.dll

My batch file looks like this....

cd c:\xampp\htdocs\crm
c:\xampp\php\php-cgi.exe -c c:\xampp\php\php.ini -f cron.php

I am still getting the following message in the "scheduler" section....

This system does not have the cURL libraries enabled/compiled into the 
PHP module (--with-curl=/path/to/curl_library). 
Please contact your administrator to resolve this issue. 
Without the cURL functionality, the Scheduler cannot thread its jobs.

I have restarted the Apache service and the whole server. No change.

I am using the following versions....

Windows 2003 Small Business Server SP2
Sugar Community Edition Version 5.2.0 (Build 5380)
XAMPP 1.70
  - Apache 2.2.11
  - PHP 5.2.8
  - MySQL 5.1.30

Please Advise.

Thanks,

Darren

Have you tried looking at the output of phpinfo() to see if curl is indeed enabled?

[teldarren]

Thank you for bringing that to my attention. it is NOT....

CONFIGURE COMMAND SECTION OF PHPINFO

cscript /nologo configure.js "--enable-snapshot-build" "--enable-debug-pack" 
"--with-snapshot-template=d:\php-sdk\snap_5_2\vc6\x86\template" 
"--with-php-build=d:\php-sdk\snap_5_2\vc6\x86\php_build" 
"--with-pdo-oci=D:\php-sdk\oracle\instantclient10\sdk,shared" 
"--with-oci8=D:\php-sdk\oracle\instantclient10\sdk,shared"

Now this brings me to my next question...

How do I re-configure or re-compile PHP to include curl (--with-curl=/path/to/curl_library) in a Windows 2003 Server environment? While I am at it, I might as well disable the "oracle" modules or add-ons. we are not using it at all. And I don't know why its referencing a D: drive. I installed it all from XAMPP which was on the local C:.

Thanks for your advice and input,

Darren

That most likely means you've edited the wrong php.ini file. I suggest doing a search on your whole computer for php.ini and edit each one. One of them is the correct one and once you've uncommented that line on the right one and restart apache everything should work fine.

Ditto.

Also, the output from phpinfo() should tell you the location of the php.ini that is in play.

You guys are AWESOME! That did it.

I installed XAMPP 1.7.0 for Windows and by default it created a php folder with a php.ini and all the other php files and directories. I have been editing this file...

C:\xampp\php\php.ini

I assumed this was the only php.ini file and have been racking my brains wondering why i was still getting the scheduler error in Sugar.

After taking a closer look at the phpinfo output, per the really smart forum guys instructions, I found that another path was used.....

Loaded Configuration File

C:\xampp\apache\bin\php.ini

I uncommented php_curl.dll line in this file by removing the semi-colon...

Before

;extension=php_curl.dll

After

extension=php_curl.dll

I saved it, restarted Apache, and logged into Sugar and what do you know......the scheduler error was gone.

Another thing I had to do was edit the batch file I created, per another cURL post I found in the forum.
My new batch file is called sugarscheduler.bat and it has the following lines in it....

cd c:\xampp\htdocs\crm
c:\xampp\php\php.exe -c c:\xampp\apache\bin\php.ini -f cron.php

I have it running every 3 minutes via the Windows task scheduler. The task scheduler show the last result as...

0x0

Not sure what that means, but i get no errors in sugar or in task scheduler, so I assume all is well????


Additional NOTE.....

My phpinfo also shows that the "Configuration File (php.ini) Path" is C:\WINDOWS
I looked in that dir and found another php.ini file that contained some old CRM settings (from ......). I edited this file as mentioned above for good measure.


Thanks,

Darren

Thank you for the help. I use wamp and in wamp there are 2 php.ini files.
File 1: C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2.21\bin\php.ini
File 2: C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.10\php.ini
Now it works fine.

You guys are AWESOME! That did it.
