I need someone *today* to install both the latest stable curl and mod_gzip on a server :) If you have experience, please contact me asap at marc@mchost.com

Thanks :D

mod_gzip was easy... If I can do you should be able to...

well, i got mod_gzip running, there's just a few little things to be done. but curl doesn't seems to install right.

Curl is a tool for transferring files with URL syntax, supporting FTP, FTPS, HTTP, HTTPS, GOPHER, TELNET, DICT, FILE and LDAP. Curl supports HTTPS certificates, HTTP POST, HTTP PUT, FTP uploading, kerberos, HTTP form based upload, proxies, cookies, user+password authentication, file transfer resume, http proxy tunneling and a busload of other useful tricks.

Are you using the RPM build of 7.8? If your running RH that might be easier to build than compiling off the source...


I still have no clue what cURL is for :D

Don't use the RPM for cURL. Compile, make, make install.

Pretty straight forward.

Compile, make, make install and it locks up :angry:

Looks like cURL finally gave up now ...


Running tests on:
* curl 7.8 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl 7.8 (SSL 0.9.5)
* Host: atlantis.mchost.com
* System: Linux atlantis.mchost.com 2.4.5 #2 SMP Mon Jun 11 19:05:24 PDT 2001 i686 unknown

I tried installing cURL on my CP/WHM system but i'm not sure if it worked. I just followed the docs that came with it. Is there a way to check if it's properly installed?

Well i ran a perl test script and it returned the version ...so i'm guessing its installed :D

Can I get this script to see if cURL is properly installed?

I can send the script to you over eMail. But you can also run "curl --version" from SSH and that should tell you if and what version is installed :stickout

bash$ curl --version
curl 7.8 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl 7.8 (OpenSSL 0.9.6)

It seems installed but when I run a script that requires curl, it doesn't work. Oh well :(
