Website Health Check - cURL ... Not Installed - Warning

[stever]

Hi Guys,

Just started to test out version 1.4, super product. I have a small problem with the website health check on my local Xampp server:

GetSimple Version

* GetSimple Version: ... Latest version installed (1.4)

Server Setup

* PHP Version 5.2.8 ... OK
* cURL ... Not Installed - Warning
* SimpleXML Module ... Installed - OK
* Default Timezone Function ... Installed - OK
* Apache Mod Rewrite ... Installed - OK
........

Running getsimple in a subfolder of the root so after editing my .htaccess to suit, all is well. Clean URLs work a treat, so should I be worried about cURL not being installed.

Thanks
Steve

Thank you!

I don't think so... the only thing we currently use cURL for is for Ticket Submission - so right now I think you are fine. That's why I listed it as a 'Warning', and not an error.

I have curl installed and it is throwing an error - cURL not installed. I just tried installing GetSimple 1.6.

which curl ──(Mon,Aug31)─┘
/usr/bin/curl

It would not install.

do you have the php5 implementation of curl installed?

On ubuntu:

Code:

apt-get install php5-curl

Then restart apache

I had the same issue with my XAMPP on my Windows XP box. Did a search online and found a fix. As follows:

The steps are as follows :

1) Close XAMP (if running)
2) Navigate to XAMP\bin\php\(your version of php)\
3) edit php.ini
4) Search for curl, uncomment extension=php_curl.dll
5) Navigate to XAMP\bin\Apache\(your version of apache)\bin\
6) edit php.ini
7) Search for curl, uncomment extension=php_curl.dll
8) Save both
9) Restart XAMP

When I followed these instructions, cURL was successfully enabled. I installed GetSimple to another of my vhosts and didn't get the blank install page. Once I upgraded to 1.6 I also didn't get the loop back to the install page.

[vsky]

hi sundar,

first of all what version of PHP do you use on your server?

[ccagle8]

Sundar, GS only used curl to check for updates to the system, so if everything else is working fine I wouldn't worry about it.
