XF 2.0 error install

I want to install and got this error.

The required PHP extension cURL could not be found. Please ask your host to install this extension.

The error also appears after you install the cURL.

What should I do?
Thanks.
 
If the error doesn't change after you believe you've installed the correct thing, either you haven't installed the correct thing or PHP/the web server hasn't be restarted for the changes to apply.

Note that this is specifically referring to the PHP cURL extension, not cURL itself (though that would be required for the PHP extension).
 
I will just add to this if you visit phpinfo (or create a small file to view it like this if you are not sure where it is in your web control panel) :

Code:
<?php

phpinfo();

?>

Copy / paste that into a text file. Rename the text file to anything you like with a .php extension (loose the text extension, so its somename.php) and upload it to your web space, then visit it in your browser. Use your browsers search/find to look for "Curl" , hopefully you will see something like this or similar:

curl_phpinfo.webp

Please remember to remove the 'info' file you just uploaded when you have finished with it!

Then you will be able to see if it really is there / enabled or otherwise. (y)
