Title: Software requires Curl PHP
Post by: jameswilson on March 13, 2016, 04:52:58 PM: Hi I'm trying to update some software used on my sme server. I have upgraded to 9 from 8 hoping it would all be ok. Sadly not.

Have got over all the issues from searching etc but am stuck on this one

PHP Requirements
You do not have the cURL PHP extension loaded (or it is running a version less than 7.36) and the allow_url_fopen PHP setting is disabled. You should contact your hosting provider or system administrator to ask either for cURL version 7.36 or greater to be installed, to be installed or the allow_url_fopen setting enabled. cURL is recommended.

you need a custom fragment to enable it

I have uploaded the check requirements php file

and php info shows curl is enabled but older than the required version?

It appears that this software wants at least curl 7.36 for some reason, or that PHP be configured with allow_url_fopen enabled. Since SME is going to stick with the upstream software versions, you should look into enabling allow_url_fopen.
