Setup - Woozle Notes
Getting cURL set up can be easy or not-easy, depending on various factors. I'm still trying to figure out why it apparently isn't working on cloud5. Tentatively, the problem is that PHP is running v7.0 instead of v7.2 (via FastCGI), and there is no libcurl package for PHP 7.0. I ultimately solved the problem by changing how PHP is invoked – from FastCGI, which seems to be stuck on 7.0 (and I don't know where it is configured) to directly invoking PHP 7.2 via CGI-BIN: /cgi-bin/php7.2.cgi
PHP 5 instructions:
- 2014-05-21 cURL is NOT installed in your PHP installation?
- (undated) How to Install curl for PHP in Ubuntu: includes PHP 7 instructions, but they don't work ("Package php7.0-curl is not available, but is referred to by another package.")
