If you like to develop websites locally on your Windows machine and use WAMP (Windows Apache MySql PHP),
but stumble to get some plugins in Wordpress going and you get the error “Your server is crap you need libcurl/cURL for apache”, do the following
- [x] download and install libcurl / curl for windows: Go to http://curl.haxx.se/download.html and scroll down to ‘Windows’, grab the “libcurl” not “binary”, e.g. This file for Windows XP/2000
- [x] Paste the zip file content into C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.6
- [x] Locate and open your php.ini file (resides in C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.5)
- [x] In your php.ini file, change/ uncomment the following line:
- [x] ;extension=php_curl.dll (you do so by removing the semi-colon)
- [x] Finally, you need to restart Apache or the whole server if you care
- [x] ENJOY!
