Desperately Seeking Assistance (cURL on Win 2000)

Post by kenyaz »

I am trying to get cURL to install or get recognized on a windows 2000 server for an application that is running as PHP on our server.

I have installed the lastest version of PHP.
I notice in the "non-installer" version, has the extensions/dll's that I need (php_curl.dll)
However, I can not even get the manual install method to install or recognize this dll.

When I go in and comment out the reference to php_curl in the php.ini file, all pages that use php on our server just hang.

Can anyone please give me advice on how to get this to install?

go in the php.ini file and remove the ; simbol(uncomment) in front of the line:
extension=php_curl.dll
also, in the line 'extension_dir' you have to change it to where the extensions are, example:
extension_dir = "C:\usr\local\php\extensions"

in the other hand, my php_curl.dll doesn't seem to work, everytime i open a page in my server it says that the module php_curl.dll could not be found, and it's right there where the other extensions are... do i have any hopes of making it work for me?

Yep, I have tried that. All pages that are PHP on our server then stop working. Everything just hangs.

I have got the curl extension installed on Windows by doing the following.

Copy php_curl.dll to C:\PHP\extensions

I then made sure my php.ini had the following setup in my c:\windows\php.ini file

; Directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside.
extension_dir = "c:\php\extensions"

I then restarted the IIS service.

I don't think we need to resurrect such an old thread, esp when we've talked about how to fix this problem many many times now.

I did a search and found this thread. I then resolved the issue and posted it. Now, when somebody else comes across this thread, they will have the answer that I looked for.

I stand by my post.
