Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_setopt()

Question

I'm having quite some troubles hosting my Magento website. I've always ran websites (Joomla, Wordpress) on shared hosting. However, for this Magento website they advised a VPS.

After quite some work (PHP memory size was too low, etc.) the website does load, but I am unable to access the admin area:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_setopt() in /var/www/elly/lib/Varien/Http/Adapter/Curl.php on line 87 Call Stack: 0.0001 637816 1. {main}() /var/www/elly/index.php:0 0.0014 708040 2. Mage::run() /var/www/elly/index.php:87 0.0032

Can anyone help me out solving this?

I've got another question: After adding a article to my shopping list, pages won't load anymore. Look for an example on: http://bit.ly/1cvXGKa

E.g.: Add an article from this page (http://bit.ly/HlmNAZ) by hovering it and clicking on 'In winkelwagen'.

Could someone help me out with this?

Answer 1

Seems there's no curl installed on your server. Check your phpinfo() for curl. If not present, you or your provider can enable it in the PHP config:

/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini (or similar)

enable extension:

extension=curl.so

Answer 2

I had same issue just install curl and restart your ngix or apache and php5

sudo apt-get install php5-curl
sudo service php5-fpm restart

Answer 3

You need to enable the curl extension for PHP.
