Apache phpinfo missing cURL and XDebug after upgrade

  • 772

I just upgraded to Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS and went to check on my local apache2 installation by adding phpinfo() to an index file.

After update/reboot, I went to my local WordPress Admin area and attenpted to update a plugin and got the following error:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function curl_init()

Here's what I did:

  1. I checked phpinfo() and no curl OR xdebug options are shown.
  2. I went to /etc/php/7.1/apache2/php.ini and uncommented the following line extension=php_curl.dll.
  3. I then restarted apache.
  4. Also, my phpinfo() shows Loaded Configuration File /etc/php/7.1/apache2/php.ini and THAT is the one I've been editing.

However, WordPress still reports the following: PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init().

I'm thinking I MUST be editing the wrong ini file.

Any ideas? I'm dead in the water here. ?

php curl xdebug

    I have had the same problem as you, but with nextcloud. Sadly I didn't wrote down, what worked. I looked up in m histfile.

    Try some of these and tell me what worked:

    apt install php-curl
a2dismod php7.0
a2enmod php7.2

    If it still doesnt work I could use this Information:

    ls /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php*

    EDIT

    sleeper found a solution for php7.1 . You need to know your php version you want. Then you can install php7.1-curl (or your version of your php).
