Curl issue on Debian and Ubuntu in 1Click install

[ckissi]

hello,

I've tried 1click install with bash script on Ubuntu 14.04, 16.04 as well as Debian 8 and I was unable to get Curl working.
One of the plugins in WP is using curl, unfortunately, PHP versions were compiled with shared curl. I read suggestions to use apt-get install php-curl to install it so I've installed it, but it still doesn't work.
I always got error message: undefined function curl_init().

On Centos 6.8 it works OK.

Hi @ckissi

Apologies for the late reply, we were away the past week. Are you still experiencing this issue?

Cheers,
Kevin

I was unable to get it working so I've installed CentOS. If you can get this fixed it would be great.

So if I'm understanding you correctly, there is an issue with 1 click install on Ubuntu/Debian where the lsphp package does not work with curl?

 

[ckissi]

Yes, if you run PHP scripts where curl PHP functions are used you'll get the error message that curl_init() is an undefined function. There was also no dedicated section for CURL in phpinfo() listing.

We have some issues with a few Debian packages, so we'll add curl to the list to check. If everything is working on CentOS, it's probably better to stick to that for now. Hopefully the Debian packages will be fixed soon.

Ok, thank you, Debian and Ubuntu became more popular than CentOS so I would prefer to install one of these.

Hi did this ever get resolved? Php is built with curl, but cannot use it with my Wordpress site it is showing undefined like above.

Hi @jivy26

Ols1click will not include all the packages automatically. Running the following command should grab curl for you:

apt-get install lsphpXX-curl

Replacing XX with php version.

Cheers,

I have done this but still get cURL is not installed . it should be installed for "Wordpress Pinterest Automatic" to work !

Even did a restart of LiteSpeed and it is not loading. I am trying to rebuilt PHP with curl but there are sooo many damned errors and packages not installed it has taken hours and I still cant get a full build to run through.

Could you send us your phpinfo output? You can send it to me via conversation if you'd rather the information not be public.

Hi @jivy26

Apologies for the delay.

Please run the following command:

dpkg -l | grep lsphp

and see if lsphp70-curl is listed. If it is, try restarting the server again to see if it picks up the package.

If it's not listed, then it's not installed, maybe see if the apt-get command resulted in an error?

Cheers,
Kevin

Hi @jivy26

Please check the vhost's configurations to make sure you're using the correct PHP version. The PHPInfo you sent is using
PHP Version 7.0.22-1+xenial

The output above is for lsphp71.
