WampServer

Having problems with php Curl not starting using the following wamp installation:

wampserver2.2e-php5.4.3-httpd2.2.22-mysql5.5.24-x64.exe on Windows 64bit.

OR

wampserver2.2e-php5.4.3-httpd-2.4.2-mysql5.5.24-x64.exe on Windows 64bit.

Getting curl failed to start because the side-by-side configuration incorrect?

Getting the following error in the event log?

Activation context generation failed for “c:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.3\ext\php_curl.dll”. Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC90.DebugCRT,processorArchitecture=”amd64″,publicKeyToken=”1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b”,type=”win32″,version=”9.0.21022.8″ could not be found. Please use sxstrace.exe for detailed diagnosis.

Tried downloading the following:

[www.mediafire.com]

Replaced the old php_curl.dll with the new one in \wamp\bin\php\php5.4.3\ext\

And, tried running Apache again.

Apache runs but then when checking if Curl is actually running in php info Curl is NOT listed as switched on.

i have the same issue as above
I have windows 7 64bit so downloaded
wampserver2.2e-php5.3.13-httpd2.2.22-mysql5.5.24-x64.exe


I read many posts, most mention copying 3 files from c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.3.13/ext/ into C:\Windows\system32 or C:\Windows\SysWOW64 folder
php_curl.dll
libeay32.dll
ssleay32.dll


below is a typical post i found but didn't resolve my problem
[stackoverflow.com]



i clicked the php_curl option in the WAMP GUI thing and double checked the php.ini settings
C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.22\bin\php.ini
it was uncomented as expected like this...
extension=php_curl.dll

But no curl in phpinfo() and get this in my apache error log...
PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.3.13/ext/php_curl.dll' - The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail

i havent figured out how to use sxstrace.exe yet (any help or advice gladly accepted)

PS: I'm not gay it's just we are not allowed Linux at work honest (*|*)

Go to [www.anindya.com] download *php_curl-5.4.3-VC9-x64.zip* under "Fixed curl extensions:" and replace the php_curl.dll in ext folder. This worked for me.

Thanks that fixed the curl issues Maybe someone can update the packages cause I JUST dl'd and it has those bugs.

Yay solved (for me)
I removed the 64 bit version and installed the 32 bit version

i ticked the php curl and it worked first time, nothing to configure and no files to download and/or copy from a to b etc

thanks everyone.

THANK YOU! I had the same issue with curl and using the version from Anindya's site fixed everything, now curl is working. Thanks!

it work!! thanks hope wamp fix that issues..

+1

Thanks for that, php_curl is now working on my Win8 x64 box.

I followed every step of this solution, but php still cannot find curl_init() :-(

However, cURL appears enabled when I take a look at phpinfo.

I have the same config : wampserver 2.2 with php 5.4.3 64-bit, apache 2.4.2, and php_curl.dll from anindya in php/ext, sysWOW64 and even system32. libeay32.dll and libssleay32 are in sysWOW64 as well.

EDIT 1/1/2013 :
PROBLEM SOLVED

It appears that my wampserver installation had several instances of php.ini. While wampserver told me that php_curl extension was enabled (ticked in the list), php.ini from php5.4.3/ had still a comment mark ';' in front of the command extension=php_curl.dll

So if nothing seems to work even after you follow every step of the solution mentioned above (big thanks to you, by the way), you should manually look after every instance of php.ini you have, and check that php_curl.dll is REALLY enabled.

I had the same problem with Wampserver 2.2 (64 bit). Here's what I did to get it working:
1) Go to wampserver->PHP->PHP extensions, enable the php_curl extension
2) Open <wamp server root>\bin\php\php5.3.13\php.ini and uncomment the following line:
extension=php_curl.dll
3) Go to <wamp server root>\bin\php and copy libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll into your windows\system32 folder
4) If you try and restart wampserver's services, you'll notice that lib_curl still doesn't work. Turns out that the version of php_curl.dll bundled in the pack is not compiled correctly.
Apache's error log contained the following:
<b>Warning</b>: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.3.13/ext/php_curl.dll' - The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail.
5) You'll need a properly compiled version of php_curl.dll. I downloaded php_curl-5.3.13-VC9-x64.zip from this blog post:
[www.anindya.com]
Direct link:
[www.mediafire.com]
I replaced php_curl.dll inside <wamp server root>\bin\php\php5.3.13\ext with the one above, and everything worked fine
6) To test if the cURL extension is working for you, try this code snippet, obtained from [stackoverflow.com]
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', '1');
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,
'http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&topic=t&output=rss');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$contents = curl_exec ($ch);
echo $contents;
curl_close ($ch);
?>


Here's another post with similar info (I found this after I wrote these instructions):
[www.o3n.org]

I win7 64-bit system, open the curl extension failed to use wamp

I was very hopeful when I read the thread as I'm having exactly the same problem - curl shows enabled in the php extensions and is uncommented in php.ini (all 3 of them) but it doesn't show in phpinfo() and it never loads.

I have a Windows 7 Pro 64 bit system running WampServer 2.2E 64 bit with PHP 5.3.13, Apache 2.2.22, mySQL 5.5.64. As long as I'm running the PHP DLL that came with my Wamp install, I get this error:

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.3.13/ext/php_curl.dll' - The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail.\r\n in Unknown on line 0

Following the instructions in this thread, I used windows Grep to find and update all 3 versions of php.ini. Didn't help.

I downloaded first the 5.4.3 and then the 5.3.13 fixed curl extension DLLs from www.andiya.com. Neither one works. With both of them, I get this error when I try to run curl:

HP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.3.13/ext/php_curl.dll' - The specified procedure could not be found.\r\n in Unknown on line 0

I thought the 5.4.3 library caused the error because of a version mismatch but I get the same error when I use the 5.3.13 DLL. What do I do now? I have a project underway that absolutely must have curl running. I don't want to upgrade to PHP 5.4.X because the site I'm working on has 5.3.x.

Are you sure you downloaded the Thread Safe version of the Anindya.com php_curl.dll

I've NOW downloaded the thread safe version. I didn't know what "nts" stood for, nobody explained it; and the first Andiya.com page I saw only had one version for 5.3.13. I did more searching later and found a link on StackOverflow which led to an Andiya page with TWO 5.3.13 curl replacements, and when I downloaded the other - which you've just explained was the "thread safe" version - it worked like a charm. I'm curious why the first page I looked at didn't have it, but as long as it works now I'll just put it down to "The Internet."
