Windows

To install the curl library on Windows

1. Open the php.ini file found in the php/php.ini folder (older versions of XAMPP use moodle/apache/bin folder)
2. Find the line: ;extension=php_curl.dll
3. Remove the ; at the beginning of the line
4. Restart Apache

If you still get an error message after doing these steps, then:

• Go to the php folder.
• Copy the icudt##.dll, icuin##.dll and icuuc##.dll files (where ## is a two digit number, for example: 36 or 49).
• Go to the Apache bin directory.
• Paste the three files:

  apache/bin/icudt49.dll
  apache/bin/icuin49.dll
  apache/bin/icuuc49.dll

• Restart your Apache web server and retry your Moodle install process.

Tip: If it appears that WAMP comes with/has a corrupt curl.dll version, see the forum.wampserver.com thread Wamp Server 2.2 Windows 7 64-bit and curl not working side-by-side configuration incorrect for details of the problem together with a fix.
