Opencart - Wamp - CURL issue

by Michael Nguyen
3 replies
Hi all

I have trouble installing opencart locally. When running the install script it gives me:

Warning: CURL extension needs to be loaded for OpenCart to work!

I've tried everything, removed semi colon on both php files in apache and php but still no luck.

I've enabled it but still nothing.

Any ideas?

Thank you for your replies.

Michael

    That is the problem with windows development, As long as I was a windows user I always had weird little issues with my wamp or xamp install.

    I would suggest trying xamp, as I seem to remember having fewer issues with it..

    But chances are you need another module installed...
    You can try getting a package manager, or pear, and give something like this a shot: Net_Curl

    otherwise take a look at your php ini file, and make sure that anything referencing curl is enabled.
    You might need to just copy your ini to the forum and let someone take a look at it..

    The other thing i thought was that your error message is warning, and if that came from an error log that shouldnt be what is stopping open cart from working.. Do you get that error message in browser, or in the install process?

    Good luck buddy

    You need to make sure the reference path for the curl module is correct in the ini files.

    Also, the wamp forums may be of help to you: - PHP, Apache, MySQL, Windows : WampServer

    the only real differences from wamp to xamp is xamp is multi-platform. The internals - php, mysql etc are the same.


    Otherwise, get a cheap VPS to test on or use linux hosting.
