Topic: PHP Curl & OpenGroupWare

[curres]

I am installing open groupware version 0.7.2 as this version required a PHP upgrade. I followed the instructions at http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=19377.0

The install went smoothly, however when I went to install opengroupware it complained that the 'PHP Curl' extension has not installed.

Anyone know how to install it or can tell me how I can 'reverse' the PHP upgrade so that I can return to the previous version (that had the extension curl installed)?

Hi there!

A quick search about php and curl

Code: [Select]

In order to use the CURL functions you need to install the CURL package. PHP requires that you use CURL 7.0.2-beta or higher. PHP will not work with any version of CURL below version 7.0.2-beta. In PHP 4.2.3, you will need CURL version 7.9.0 or higher. From PHP 4.3.0, you will need a CURL version that's 7.9.8 or higher. PHP 5.0.0 will most likely require a CURL version greater than 7.10.5

Current Redhat 7.3 curl version is 7.9.5-2, I think there is a newer RH8 version curl-7.9.8-1.i386.rpm, you can download it from http://rpmfind.net

There are Custom RPMS such as

http://norlug.org/~chipster/rpm_handler/cat1/curl-7.11.0-1.norlug.i386.rpm

I've been using many Norlug RPMS without any problem.

May be you should give it a try..
