Hello I have limited knowledge in linux, and the only time I have compiled PHP was in Windows. I recently got a new dedicated server with Plesk 9.3 installed on CentOS 5. I needed to upgrade the PHP from 5.1 to 5.2 following these instructions and using Yum: http://www.atomicorp.com/wiki/index.php/PHP

I see curl on the server and in my php file in the configure line shows '--without-curl'

What steps do I have to do to get curl enable for PHP?

I understand how to add new modules via Yum but not sure how to turn them on and off through command line in the ./configure

In fact every time I try ./configure I get a "-bash: ./configure: No such file or directory" message.

Thank you in advance.

You can't use configure if you're not compiling the files manually (that's why you have yum and RPMs in the first place).

I looked at my phpinfo and while it does have that flag set as well, I also have a curl block further down the page saying it's enabled (curl is included with /etc/php.d/curl.ini). In fact, if it weren't enabled, I'd be one of the first screaming to get it back.

Thank you so much for telling me this. I saw that block in my phpinfo as well which had added to the confusion. I can't believe the route I took trying to figure this out, lost 8 hours of my life and got a bad nights sleep hahaha.

Along the way I had found a snippet of code to test to see if curl was installed and it was giving me a negative hit on curl being installed. Only problem with the code is it was checking for the function it was checking for wasn't correct so it was giving me a false negative on curl as well. By that time though I was so out of it from wondering why it wasn't enabled I didn't audit the code I was using lol.

Of course this morning with your input I was able to second guess my previous information and prove curl is installed.

I can't thank you enough. I probably would have been in a bad mood trapped in that pit of despair unable to resolve a none existent problem all day

Yup, phpinfo() lies.

I just tried to run the upgrade from PHP 5.1.6 to 5.2.12 on a fresh Plesk 9.3 install with Centos 5.4 and it was a no go due to php-sqlite2 having depsolving problems.

I assume the repository is not yet fully up to speed with Plesk 9.3 and hope this is sorted soon ... waiting anxiously until the update.

just remove php-sqlite2

That easy? lol.

Thanks
