How to enable cURL php extension in Apache2?

[Csanyi Pal]

Hi,

I just upgraded Squeeze to Wheezy, and have difficulties with cURL PHP
extension: I can't enable it.

I have installed following packages related to this issue:
curl, libcurl3, libcurl3-gnutls, php5-curl.

I know that cURL extension is not enabled because I want to install
Moodle and it complains about cURL extension.

How can I solve this problem?

I have in
/etc/php5/mods-available/curl.ini
; configuration for php CURL module
; priority=20
extension=curl.so

Still doesn't work cURL. Why?

Instead, I have this symbolic link:
/etc/php5/conf.d/@20-curl.ini

that pointing to the:
-> ../mods-available/curl.ini

Sorry - you're right. Got that mixed up with the Apache mods.

cURL *should* be installed then.

I've never worked with Moodle, but a quick glance indicates it's a web
application running under Apache. After installing the cURL extensions,
you did restart Apache, correct?

You can prove if cURL is installed under the Apache version of PHP (not
the same as the CLI version) with a simple page containing only:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

This will show all extensions loaded. If cURL is listed, then you
should follow up with Moodle (incorrect test for cURL?). If it is not
listed, we need to follow up more - what does it say the config file
you're using is?

Look at the output of your phpinfo() function - what does it show as

Loaded Configuration File:
/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

Scan this dir for additional .ini files:
/etc/php5/apache2/conf.d

Additional .ini files parsed:
/etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/gd.ini, /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/intl.ini,
/etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/mcrypt.ini, /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/mysql.ini,
/etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/mysqli.ini, /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/pdo.ini,
/etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/pdo_mysql.ini,
/etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/xcache.ini

So I don't see the content of the /etc/php5/conf.d/ directory here, with
files as: @10-pdo.ini, @20-curl.ini, ..., @20-xmlrpc.ini.

For Moodle installation both curl and xmlrpc are needed.

Hmmm, looks like it didn't install the symlink for cURL in

Not sure why this didn't happen - it should have been built as a part of
the cURL installation.

(Sorry, meant the first message to go to the list then sent it instead
of cancelling it).

I don't think it's a bug - it created the symlink just fine on my test
system. Did you install cURL after Apache and PHP?

Post by Csanyi Pal
Can I manually create the symlink?

Sure, you can create any symlink. You could try purging the curl
package than installing it again to see if it adds the sysmlink. Or you
can just use ln to create the link.

i php5-curl - CURL module for php5

Post by Jerry Stuckle
I've never worked with Moodle, but a quick glance indicates it's a
web application running under Apache. After installing the cURL
extensions, you did restart Apache, correct?

Yes, I restarted Apache2 with '/etc/init.d/apache2 restart' command.

You can prove if cURL is installed under the Apache version of PHP
(not the same as the CLI version) with a simple page containing

How could I know whether I have the Apache version of PHP

This will show all extensions loaded. If cURL is listed, then you
should follow up with Moodle (incorrect test for cURL?).

I created the file info.php with the abowe mentioned content, and
try it out, but curl extension isn't listed there.

Post by Jerry Stuckle
If it is not listed, we need to follow up more - what does it say
the config file you're using is?

Which config file do you think about?

Look at the output of your phpinfo() function - what does it show as
"Loaded configuration file"? What about the next two boxes ("Scan
this dir for additional .ini files" and "Additional .ini files
parsed"?

/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
/etc/php5/apache2/conf.d
/etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/gd.ini, /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/intl.ini,
/etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/mcrypt.ini,
/etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/mysql.ini,
/etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/mysqli.ini,
/etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/pdo.ini,
/etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/pdo_mysql.ini,
/etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/xcache.ini
So I don't see the content of the /etc/php5/conf.d/ directory here,
For Moodle installation both curl and xmlrpc are needed.

Hmmm, looks like it didn't install the symlink for cURL in
/etc/php5/apache2/conf.d. It should be linked to
../mods-available/curl.ini.
Not sure why this didn't happen - it should have been built as a part
of the cURL installation.

I agree with that, it should have been built as a part of the cURL
installation. Shall I fill a debian bugreport for this?

(Sorry, meant the first message to go to the list then sent it instead
of cancelling it).
I don't think it's a bug - it created the symlink just fine on my test
system. Did you install cURL after Apache and PHP?

I installed cURL after Apache and PHP.

Can I manually create the symlink?

Sure, you can create any symlink.
You could try purging the curl package than installing it again to see
if it adds the sysmlink. Or you can just use ln to create the link.

I just created symlink and restarted apache2. It works now.

Now, I tried out purging php5-curl debian package and install it again
to see whether get I the symlink automatically?

So, I have installed apache2 and php5, and purged php5-curl.

When install again php5-curl, I get symlink just in the
/etc/php5/conf.d/ but not in the /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/ and so
apache2 doesn't know about cURL module.

I must to create symlink manually in /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/ to point
to the /etc/php5/conf.d/20-curl.ini.

Is the situation same, there on your system?

Hi,
I just upgraded Squeeze to Wheezy, and have difficulties with
cURL PHP extension: I can't enable it.
curl, libcurl3, libcurl3-gnutls, php5-curl.
I know that cURL extension is not enabled because I want to
install Moodle and it complains about cURL extension.
How can I solve this problem?

I have in
/etc/php5/mods-available/curl.ini
; configuration for php CURL module
; priority=20
extension=curl.so
Still doesn't work cURL. Why?

What do you have in /etc/php5/mods-enabled?

I even haven't the /etc/php5/mods-enabled/ directory.

-> ../mods-available/curl.ini

Sorry - you're right. Got that mixed up with the Apache mods.
cURL *should* be installed then.

Yes, I think so too.

Actually, looking more closely at the directory structure, my
/etc/php5/apache2/conf.d is just a symlink to /etc/php5/conf.d. The
fact yours is not seems to be a problem.

This was a fresh install of wheezy on a new virtual machine, but the
same is true a squeeze installation.

My squeeze system (which has not been upgraded yet) shows it to be a
symlink also (but that was an update also - not a new install). I'm not
sure why yours has changed.

You could purge and reinstall everything; probably php and the
extensions you're using should be enough. I wouldn't think you'd have
to reinstall (and reconfigure) Apache.
