cURL Warning - php_curl.dll Issue

[nicorellius]

When going to Scheduler in SugarPro 5.5.4, I get this cURL Warning:

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.

It looks like it needs to be uncommented in php.ini. My php.ini is located here:

/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

But there is no extension=php_curl.dll line in this file. Anyone? Comments, ideas, help?

First, confirm that the referenced dll exists on your system. If it doesn't, you'll need to obtain it.

Once you've got it, manually add that line to the PHP.INI file. Don't forget to restart the web service after applying the change.

the file is not on my system... I found and downloaded php_curl.dll and now I need to put it somewhere. Not sure where, but probably in the /var/www/sugardir somewhere. But where exactly?

Sorry for not picking up on this the first time around, but if you are on linux, the file should be php_curl.so

Once you get it, you'll want to place it in the same directory as where your other PHP extensions are stored. The PHP.INI has an entry that directs you to that directory, indicated by the setting: extensions_dir

I am having a hard time finding php_curl.so

I found curl.so on my system in usr/lib/php5/20060613 but I'm not sure if pointing the extension_dir there with extension=curl.so will work.

Anyone know of a good source to obtain php_curl.so ? or if my alternate method will work?

Create a simple script with this code:

 <?PHP
phpinfo();
?>  

Save it into your htdocs and access it through your browser.
Hopefully it will displays all php information, including extension dir and loaded libraries.

Open your php.ini and update the extension dir accordingly.
Restart apache and try again this script.
Check if curl is loaded now.
