Curl extension

Permalink 1 user found helpful
Hello All

I can't seem to find any info on this error we get;

"Backup Pro requires the Curl extension to transfer backups to remote locations."

cURL is installed so what am I missing?

curl might be installed as far the server goes, but there's also a PHP extension that has to be installed and enabled in PHP's config to be able to use it.

Try creating a phpinfo script, and checking whether there is curl section listed. If you don't see something like 'cURL support | enabled' in there, it might just be that the PHP extension hasn't been turned on.

That was it!

apt-get install php7.0-curl
service apache2 restart

Thank You
